Gain Momentum was the only xTalk I've used that had a Viewer control, a
rectangle which could be placed on any card in any stack to provide a
view to any other stack.
This would solve your need here quite handily (and a good many others),
but allowing you to craft one set of controls that could then be easily
placed anywhere, in any stack.
Ben Rubinstein submitted a request for that:

In the meantime, the best we can do at the moment is to craft a tool
that emulates the benefits of that workflow by automating the copying of
a group to any stack that needs it. Not nearly as convenient as a
viewer object, but only takes a few minutes to write, and if the group
being copied uses a behavior script at least the code always remains
centralized.
