Yes there is. May be this way is a horror to others, but I like it :^)

Try this:
make 2 new stacks called for example "me" and "you"

in stack "you" put 1 fld with some text in it

in stack "me" put 1 btn with the following text

constant ca = "fld 1 of stack you"    -- (just for the example, you can 
load a local or just a var)

on mouseup
    put the text of ca && the rect of ca
end mouseup
