Inside a #(define-markup-command (command-name layout props arg1 arg2 …)
you can collect 'direction as follows:
  (let* ((dir-prop (chain-assoc-get 'direction props  1)))

Well, you get the error:
warning: cannot find property type-check for `ottavationMarkups'


It seems that 2.21.0 doesn't know about ottavaText either.

So, referring to
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2017-02/msg00406.html
you could try
 - including Harm's code from there (see attachment)
 - renaming ottavationMarkups to ottavaText
