So how can I write a handler to retrun the text of a background group on a
card other than the current card? The only way I know of is to do some ugly
manual parsing of the long id of the target, and so extract the card id and
construct a reference that way - very ugly and in other contexts error
prone. What we need is something equivalent to:

put the card of the target
put the number of the card of the target

Any other way of doing this simple task?

Does it have to be a background group? If you make it a shared card group then you can get "the owner of me", which will be the card.
