But, using a group as a building block for a more complex object, it
would be useful if there was a setting that allowed them to be accessed
like other objects. Also, empty groups shouldn't trap mouseclicks. The
suggested workarounds will work fine, of course - it is more just a
matter of convenience.

This is not quite correct - groups are controls. (Expressions like 
"the name of control 3" treat groups as controls, for example.) But 
they don't receive mouse messages directly.

I think this makes some conceptual sense - although it's confusing - 
because groups aren't user-interface objects in and of themselves. As 
containers for other objects, they're more abstract.
