(For example: answer the short name of stack 0)... Is there any way to unambiguously refer to the stack on which a substack belongs to?.. I even tried : answer the short name of word 5 of stack topStack but it failed on this, probably because of the quotes surrounding it I guess?...   The bottom line is, is there some way to do this?...

If I understand correctly, have you looked at the mainStack property? Unless you have stacks with the same name (something to avoid in the first place) this should do the trick.
