Advanced calls for getting a navigation with parents and navigate between childs of multiple parents

[[!siblingNav? &limit=`7` &id=`[[*parent]]` &placeholderPrefix=`snparent.`]]
[[+snparent.prev]][[+snparent.prevlinks]][[+snparent.self]][[+snparent.nextlinks]][[+snparent.next]]

[[!siblingNav? &limit=`9` &parents=`29,261`]]
