I always just use the sp() function.
That also only works well in (free)dinkedit, AFAIK, because WDE doesn't give you the sprite number? I've never used WDE, so I could be wrong. In my editor, I actually give names to sprites and pass those to sp(); the preprocessor turns the names into whatever number gets assigned to the sprite and it all works.
The other popular approach, aside from the brain trick, is to assign current_sprite to a global in the sprite's main function, but I think you were referring to that originally.
For cut scenes, you can also create the sprites in the script, using create_sprite. That returns a number (just like get_sprite_with_this_brain() and sp() do), which you can then use in move(), say(), etc.
