A related undocumented property is "the currentcard of <stackReference>", which returns the short name of the currently showing card in any open stack. "This card" and "the current card" are equivalent to "the currentcard of the topstack."

You cannot refer to this card of stack "myStack" to get the currently showing card of a stack other than the topstack, but you can use the currentcard of stack "myStack" which will give you the same result as if myStack were the topstack and you referred to "the short name of this card." "The currentcard" is an undocumented term, and it may be deprecated, but it continues to work through version 4.5.
