If I understand this discussion correctly the need is for a mechanism of
"duplicating" objects with all their properties script included. Scott I
think mentioned "shareScript"  which makes a lot of sense.
Generally speaking I can see the usefulness of "shareProps" as well which
would allow making changes to the duplicated object to appear in the
duplicates as well. This of course must be limited or take parameters [set
shareProps(textFont,backgroundColor,script,etc.) to true/false]. A script
would look something like this:

set shareProps(textFont,backgroundColor,script) of fld X of stack S to true
duplicate fld X of stack S in card 2 of this stack

Another good idea in the wrong direction ;-)
