As a follow up to the game development discussion, you can take a look at a

reference common images. As stated earlier, the main benefit of this

If I do:

Actually,
1. clone the stack (via a script in a button etc.)

here's a trick
a little preopenstack script like
on preopenstack
get the time
pass openstack
end preopenstack
(do the same with preopencard just in case)
debug the get the time line
and trace to see if there is not another stack that is
intercepting or overiding your open stack behavior...
immediately set the cloned stack's mainStack to the main stack - now
it IS a part of the main stack - IDs are resolved - Names are not - so
rename the cloned stack(now a substack) and you got it.
