I had similar problems with copy and paste, and discovered there really seemed no way to do it without being on the card. I could copy from another card, but I had to be on the card I wanted to paste to.
So I use lock screen to go there in secret. Now, I'm a very unsophisticated and simple person, and it is quite likely I don't understand why you don't want to go to the actual card, unless you have an "on openCard" handler you don't want to run right at that moment. But unless that is the case, this seems to work (again, I realize that I have probably oversimplified the situation and this might not be of any use to you at all): on mouseUp lock screen go to card "Two" create button "Herb" go to card "One" unlock screen end mouseUp It is still five lines instead of one though, I'm afraid. I made a little stack but I don't think I can upload it here. It worked though.
