Yes, the "current" command is what you need. Try this:

  AddToFunc MyAction
  + I current (resourcestring) whatever_command_you_need

The window manager is not the right place to do this and it can't
do this job properly anyway. This would seriously mess up event
handling in fvwm. I don't know if there are applications that
provide this functionality.
