What about a script like this in your cloned stack's script:

on mouseUp pBtnNumber
   global gSelectedButton

   -- check if right mouse button is used and if it is clicked over a  
button
   if pBtnNumber = 3 and the name of the target contains "button" then
     put the target into gSelectedButton
     -- perhaps make some visual change to indicate the selected button
     -- change it's color, draw a box around it or something like that
   else
     pass mouseUp
   end if
end mouseUp

Then your "script insertion" script can use whatever is in the global  
gSelectedButton to set the script.

on mouseUp
   global gSelectedButton
   set the script of gSelectedButton to "on mouseUp" & cr & \
     "doThisAction" & cr & "end mouseUp"
end mouseUp
