The documentation page:

https://www.blender.org/manual/modeling/meshes/editing/vertices.html

identifies the command "Make Vertex Parent" is available within the Verticies menu.

Mode: Edit Mode
Menu: Mesh ‣ Vertices ‣ Make Vertex Parent
Hotkey: Ctrl-P
This will parent the other selected object(s) to the vertices/edges/faces selected, as described here.

However, the only way to access the method is via the Hotkey. This is a substantial issue in terms of discoverability.
