How do you use effect and blend modes to make an object's silhouette appear above another object

If you have a tree for example, and a player walks under it so you can no longer see the player, is there a way to make the part of the player which is obscured by the tree appear above the tree as a coloured solid silhouette.

I saw a solution the same as this using force own texture or something like that, but I can't get it to work with a layer that has a different parallax, since the duplicate player object has to be on the same layer as the parallax object, but that obviously leads to problems.
