Hi @psrpjayaem,
As @arunpatidar mentioned, there is no easy way to do this in HTL and it will always be more verbose and less performance (due to lots of iterating) to perform this kind of complex logic than if you used a Sling model.
In my opinion, you really should be using a model for this kind of requirement, for a number or reasons:
Hope that helps
Hi @psrpjayaem
With HTL, you can extract first the parent of the current component that is footer. Then you can extract header resource from parent resource like this:
<div data-sly-test.headerResource="${resource.parent.header}">
<!-- Extract properties if header resource exists with ${headerResource.properties.property1}-->
</div>
OR-----------------------------------------
<div data-sly-list="${resource.parent.listChildren}">
<div data-sly-test.headerResource="${item.name == 'header'}">
<!-- Extract properties if header resource exists with ${headerResource.properties.property1}-->
</div>
</div>
Here resource represents the current resource. resource.parent basically call getParent method of resource api and provide you with parent resource.
you can both the options and whatever fits your usecase better, you can try.
Hope it Helps!
Thanks

Is there any specific reason why you should not use models ?

You can access the resources using HTL Global Object, but you cannot perform any Business operation in HTL like getting a specific child node without iterating. You need to use either JS Use API or Java.
