Hi Anna,

If I understand your question correctly, it doesn't really matter that the
words that you link from on various cards are not the same word. Attach a
script to each of the various text fields that contain the words that link
back to your "specific card."

Assume you had a card with words that start with "A", another with words
that start with "B", and another with words that start with "C". There
might be other cards with names like "fruit", "vegetable", "drink",
"meat", etc.

My scripting is a little rusty right now, but the scripts will process the
mouseclick with something like the following.

on the "A" card text field:
if the clickword is "apple" go card "fruit"

on the "B" card text field:
if the clickword is "banana" go card "fruit"

on the "C" card text field"
if the clickword is "cherry" go card "fruit"

Something like this should work. Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
