Hi Geoff
Unless I misunderstood your post, you can already do this in Metacard.
go stack url "http://www.someserver.com/somestack.mc"
go card aNamedCard of stack url "http://www.aserver.com/astack.mc#aNamedCard"
It's a magic feature which impressed the hell out of first me and
next (and more important) one of my clients.
And another little trick I discovered recently is if you compress the
stacks using Metacard's compress function before putting them on the
server, you can open them in one statement:
go stack decompress(url "http://www.someserver.com/someCompressedstack")
This saves on server space, and I found generally faster download
times. (But I think the speed improvement may vary depending on
network setups)
