This was just discussed in the past few days: Put all handlers in the
stack or card script and specify in them what action to trigger
depending on object name.

on openField
switch the short name of the target
case "field1"
do_some_stuff #specific for field "field1"
break
case "field2"
do_other_stuff #specific for field "field2"
break
#...and so on...
end switch
end openField
