This particular qaddish is indicated both in the NLI and Catalogo Sommario notes as being for Shabbatot "when two sefarim are exracted", the Catalogo Sommario adding the explicit reference to Special Shabbatot. Accordingly, we have ascribed its usage to the order of Torah reading service during Shachrit of Special Shabbatot, when the two sefarim are read.
