Do you mean some shortcut to get the owning card no matter what? If you
create a new stack and put a button on the card:

    put the owner of button 1

returns

    card id 1002

and

    put the owner of this cd

returns

    stack "Untitled 1"

If the object in question is inside a group, you'd have to recurse your way
out, or you could use:

    put word -5 to -1 of the long id of btn 1

or if you prefer:

    put word -5 to -1 of the long name of btn 1

(the second would use the name of the card) for just the stack use:

    put word -2 to -1 of the long id of btn 1
