Ray,
What Björnke says. However, I would use a frontscript to catch the
preOpenStack messages, check that that target is card 1 of a script
editor and then set the loc and rect of the script editor if necessary.

write a backscript in a plugin and have it open automatically?
Well the first stop would obviously be to read the backscript entry of the dictionary. I have a similar setup
as mark, only my stack allows the editing of label fields when in browse mode. There's several ways to
include code in the message path, for example I use "start using stack" instead of
"backscript" or "frontscript".
A so called "plugin" is simply a stack that resides in the plugin folder within the user extension folder of
the IDE. To see where your IDE has stored that folder, go to the Preferences, and select "FIles & Memory"
(it's at the bottom). Also check out the "development" menu: development -> plugins -> plugin settings
Also see this lessons:

As a test, you can make a stack that reports the location of the mouse when you
click in browse mode, to do that just make a new stack with this code in its
stack script (also make sure to rename the card accordingly):
on openstack
if the target = "card" && quote & "my own plugin" & quote then
start using this stack
end if
pass openstack
end openstack
on mouseUp
put the mouseLoc & return & the screenMouseLoc
pass mouseUp
end mouseUp
