This is probably hugely irrelevant, but I wonder why I cannot do this:
put card "3" of stack "STAK" into card "1" of stack "SUBB"
where stack "SUBB" is a substack of stack "STAK".
I have a very, very vague memory of being able to do that sort of thing
somewhere (HC ???).

having the PB open to one card "A" and the actual stack open
to card B works pretty well, but some not so well.
This is coming, but not for some time:
<http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2786>
My understanding is that the team wants that as much as the rest of
us, as they have some IDE plans in store for it.
But as we know, they have rather a queue ahead of that, so I don't
know what any official estimates might be but I wouldn't expect that
this year.
So in the meantime I can think of two alternatives which might help
and can certainly be done in a couple hours on a Sunday:
1) View-only: the import snapshot command was enhanced many years ago
to allow rendering of objects directly into the screenshot buffer
rather than being limited to what's on screen. This includes objects
that aren't currently open. Try it. Kinda fun. You can make a viewer
window that has some list of cards, and when a card is selected it
gets rendered in an image so you can refer to it while you're working
on another card in the actual stack.
2. Copy out and back: If you need to interact with objects in the
second card you're viewing rather than just see them, you could copy
them out to a viewer stack, and copy them back when you're done. Not
entirely without trickiness, depending on how your stack is
structured, but maybe worth exploring if that has high value for you.
