How to loop through stacks with same name?

I had all the same problems running through hundreds of stacks with the aim
to take snapshots of each to easily identify a stack visually. The dialog
for stacks with name conflicts always popped up. None of the methods worked
for me. But I will try again.

I have a lot of stacks with different versions, same name, and I do not
want to change the stack name since a stack is mostly not isolated and
needs a fixed name to communicate with other stacks. My changes of version
numbers are visible in the label name only.

One solution would be if it were possible to address a stack by id. But
that does not work even though a stack has an id. And if it were possible,
how to ensure that each id is unique?

The name conflict could probably only be solved by the Livecode team? It is
annoying frequently. But there a side effects to any solution to think
about first.

But I will try whatever may work.
