I'm not sure I understand the problem here, what prohibits the use of  
the following way to achieve the above?

on mouseUp
   put "people" into theFirst
   put "1" into theSecond
   put "Name" into theThird
   put "some string" into theArrayA[theFirst][theSecond][theThird]
end mouseUp

Besides less readability, more lines of code, etc. of course. Still if  
you don't know what the keys will be beforehand, then you'll have them  
individually in vars anyway, right?

Probably not understanding the problem correctly
