With luatex there is textdir to change text direction and tex.textdir which give string representing text direction.
I have created this macro to test text direction which supposedly gives TLT inside left to right context and TRT inside right to left context, but my macro does not give the desired result

You can at first expand the command withedeftmpadirectlua ...and then useifxtmpadirbut expl3 solutions are imho better (and egreg's test is better than mine, comparing this as string is cleaner.)
