How do I get the "Parent" of a table?
For example, say we have this:
1 | Table1 = {Table2 = {} } |
If I only had Table2, how do I get Table1?

unfortunately, that's impossible :) you'll have to store that information somewhere else.
you can also look into a metatable which is a little bit different but could still work depending on your use case. for example:
1 | cool = {"dope"} |
2 | boring = {"not dope"} |
3 | setmetatable(cool, boring) |
4 | print(cool, getmetatable(cool)) |
5 | -- {"dope"}, {"not dope"} |
it gets more complicated than that but those are the basics of it
