Please make a few next steps:
1. From espocrm/application/Espo/Modules/Crm/Resources/metadata/entityDefs/Call.json copy:
from the field block:

"parent": {
    "type": "linkParent",
    "entityList": ["Account", "Lead", "Contact", "Opportunity", "Case"]
},

from the links block:

"parent": {
    "type": "belongsToParent",
    "foreign": "calls"
},

2. Paste copied code into appropriate blocks of your new entity in espocrm/custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/entityDefs/Your-Entity.json
Note: in the links block "foreign": "calls" change to "foreign": "your-entity".
3. Make a rebuild.
4. Reload a web page.
5. Add new parent field into the layout in Layout Manager.
