Hacked, semi-solution:

Added a small stack named "miniKart"  then added the following to my 
yellow gum drop image btn

on mouseUp
   close this stack
   go stack "miniKart"
   show stack "miniKart"
   set the iconic of stack "miniKart" to true
end mouseUp

On the other end I added an unIconifyStack  handler to go back to my 
custom window stack.

Not ideal so if anyone has a better trick I'm listening.
