This reminds a very useful Firefox add-on "Go Up" that lets you go up
a level to the parent directory on the current website by pressing
Alt+UpArrow, and some other add-ons I don't remember their names.

Would it be possible to combine this feature with the existing

    (define-key map "n" 'eww-next-url)
    (define-key map "p" 'eww-previous-url)
    (define-key map "u" 'eww-up-url)
    (define-key map "t" 'eww-top-url)

that rely on special attributes.  I mean to install your new commands.
Then later add fallbacks to both sets of commands: if there is
no special attribute, then "n"/"p"/"u"/"t" could try to deduce the
page from URL by calling your new commands, instead of signaling
an error as they do currently by (user-error "No `next' on this page").
And vice versa: if your commands don't match a number in the URL, then
fall back to "n"/"p"/"u"/"t", maybe optionally.
