On the contrary, you can use the mark command in this case.
But your pseudocode is not very clear to me.
Anyway try something like:

on someHandler
    set defaultstack to <stackname>

    mark cards where (the script of this cd contains " hide object 1") 
and  (the script of this cd contains "show object 2")

   <then do something like:>
    repeat with i = 1 to the number of marked cds
      do the things you have to do with or on marked cd i
    end repeat

end someHandler

May be it is not similar to Supercards system and may be not really in 
1 line :-),
but the mark command works on card scripts as well.

HTH.
