You can create permissions for a role on documents that match a certain query, which is usually referred to as "Document Level Security" and requires at least a Platinum-level X-Pack license.

See: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/field-and-document-access-control.html#document-level-security

Permissions on a specific type would require a term query on the _type field [1], and permissions on if a field exists would use an exists query [2]
