You can assign to the target class' __bases__.
Or you can just create your own tag data structure and methods for them
that do all this. If you later need the optimization of having an index,
the dispatch framework is extensible. For example, peak.binding.components
creates a custom "criterion" class (HasParentCriterion) that indexes
component parent hierarchies to make it possible for generic functions to
evaluate "is X a child of Y?" questions in parallel.
