     As Lawrence said, the stretch handle works through changing the value of a parameter on the pcell instance. Although it is a graphical edit, the stretch function (usually a user function) updates the parameter values as the handle is moved. In order to bring the stretch handle up one level of hierarchy, you have to create a parameter on the top level pcell which modifies the parameter on the as well as a ROD object in the top level plcell with a stretch handle assigned to that parameter.
