ok, so let me recapitulate:
you want to dynamically create an abstraction using toggles.
the toggle should receive at a label "$0-mytoggle" or the like.

now what you are trying to do is:
pass the "$0-mytoggle" somehow to the toggle so that it recognises it as 
it's receiver.
you have problems, because you don't see a way to a) create the 
"$0-mytoggle" symbol, b) to pass it to the toggle, c) to make the toggle 
realize that the "$0-mytoggle" is not just a symbol but should be 
expanded to whatever $0 means in this context.

my suggestion:
as you are building dynamic patches there shouldn't be a need for "$0" 
to be expanded to its value.
$0-expansion makes only sense when using pre-build abstractions (the 
ones you are creating dynamically)
(probably you could construct a case, where my conclusions are wrong, but)

so: you know the value of "$0" (just use [f $0]); what is wrong with 
"hardcoding" this value into the receivers ?
get $0 (say it is 1101); create your object with something like
"obj 136 58 tgl 15 0 1101-se 1101-re nme 0 -6 0 8 -262144 -1 -1 0 1"

this should give you the behaviour you need.
