You can use the :hasdocs selector.

$('div:has(>#123)')

as mentioned, you should not use numbers for ids. You can prefix them with something like id_ and remove that when you want the actual number.

update

added the > to the selector used by the :has to only select the div that has the link as a direct child.

$("#link-123").closest("div")

will get you the parent. I'd suggest giving the div a class so that, in case you have to insert an intervening div later, the code works reliably. So it'd be something like:

$("#link-123").closest(".link-container")
