I'd use the short name in conjunction with the owner for this:

   -- "myControl" is control "A" of group "B" of card "C" of stack "D"
   put the short name of myControl into myControlName
   put the short name of the owner of myControl into myGroupName
   put the short name of the owner of the owner of myControl into myCardName
   put the short name of the owner of the owner of the owner of 
myControl into myStackName
