I'm not sure what you mean, exactly what you mean, but...
The '-r' flag seems to disable related answers and is not type-specific.
You can use the '-x' flag to prevent searching for less-specific
matches, which is the default behavior. I believe this applies for all
hierarchical types (so at least inet6num, route6, inetnum, route,
as-block, and domain object types).
You may want to still couple the '-x' with '-T', since you can end up
with inetnum and route objects returned, or aut-num and as-block.
