If you are using 1.3a3 or later you can get to card "zebra" by using
the argument capability. If your stack name were foo, you would
execute:
foo zebra
in your mystack openstack handler you would include a lines such as
if $1 is "zebra" then go card "zebra"
if $1 is "unicorn" then go card "unicorn"
or use some repeat loop and a lookup table to look for matches on
all relevant values
