TCL Console Command for filtering through Metadata

Hello, I am working in HyperMesh by importing geometry as Parts, all of which have metadata. The metadata is stored specifically in the Parts and not in the Components belonging to said parts. I need to be able to select and place under the user mark the Parts which have a certain value for a certain metadata name.

For example. if in the metadata I have several sets of data as such:

<metadata_name>: <metadata_value>

I need to be able to access all the parts which have XYZ as metadata_value.

So far, I have experimented with hm_getusermark, hm_getvalue and hm_getmetadata, but I can't seem to get these commands to do what I want. 

I feel like this is a pretty specific question that requires some level of familiarity with TCL Query Commands and I would be really happy to hear some opinions.
