Pseudo-Class filter

Pseudo-class filter is used to secure specific behavior of application elements under specified conditions. Pseudo-class filter filters elements based on the condition but not on their type, ID, or relations. Thus, the properties will be applied only to the elements which meet the condition and only when they meet it.

Here is the full list of conditions which are currently supported by Lycia as options for the With Pseudo-Class filter.
