Hmm, I just created two groups named differently, each with a button
of the same name. Each button called same a handler on the card with:
get the short name of the owner of the target
This returned a different, and correct, group name depending which
button I clicked.
Isn't this what the original poster wanted?
Similarly
get the id of the target
returns the proper, and unique, id of the button clicked. So while
the target itself returns incomplete description to uniquely identify
an object, it can still be used to get unique identification as far
as I can see.
