You cannot selective restore data from a backup, but if the data is data that syncs with iCloud, (for instance iWorks documents) when you turn those features on in the new device, that data will sync back to the new device from iCloud. That is data that isn’t stored in the backup, but syncs with iCloud. You can also recover the data back to a Mac if that is your goal.
It would most helpful if you told us what type of data it is that you want to recover.

You can't view the contents of a backup file.
All you can do is restore a device using all of the data.
So there are some photos that a friend shader with me from her Ipad over Airdrop. I can't find them in Photos on iCloud even if I could see them on the iPhones photo app.
