Yes, there is a similar facility in C++/Parser except there you receive
raw SAX callbacks (e.g., start_element(), end_element(), attribute(),
and characters()) for content matched by wildcards. The 'wildcard'
example in examples/cxx/parser/ shows how this works.

Yes, you can override the above-mentioned functions (see the 'wildcard'
example for details). There you can ignore/process/save content matched
by the wildcard in any way you want (including routing it to the another
parser).
