In the beginning (now there's a phrase someone should use!), you said
you wanted to anchor at the third word, but you seem to have changed to
the fourth word -- is that a deliberate change or a slip of the pen?
It's absolutely no difference, as long as it's on the first line. But to answer your question (and to really realize how useful this script is) this particular book has two side headings on both sides of the margin. I decided to make things easier, I would put one mnchor marker on after the third and the other after the fourth. It's relative to the baseline and the text frame, so it really doesn't make a difference where on the line it is.
What really makes your function so special is how vesatile it is. I was able to use the same script for both side headings, and all I had to do was change the defaults in the UI. I can give it to a friend and it would be very easy for him to customize it to his needs.
I've uploaded a page so you can see what I mean:
