I need to read a property of a standalone stack from another main

Anybody know a reliable way to get the stack name of a stack that has
been turned into a standalone, from within another stack that the
standalone has launched? It's easy to get the name of the standalone
stack when that's the active stack, just by getting 'the short name
of
this stack'. But once that stack launches another stack, how do you
do
it reliably?
Something like this might work:
go home
get the name of this stack
go back
Oh, this isn't nearly as impressive as the Rube Goldberg approaches
I'd been trying! :-)
Actually, it works with some adjustments (for some reason 'go back'
caused the launched stack to close, even with lock messages):
push card
lock screen
lock messages
go home
put the short name of this stack into tLauncher
pop card
unlock messages
unlock screen
The only problem is that there is an annoying flash when going to the
"home" stack and back. Even lock screen didn't fix it. For now I'm
using 'return line 1 of the mainStacks', but I'm not 100% certain that
the standalone stack is always on line 1. (I've never seen different,
but I haven't yet tested infinity cases. :) )
