The easiest way I've found to move the objects in a group is to SVG_SET_TRANSFORM_TRANSLATE the group when the mouse is moving. Later if you UNGROUP, the translation needs to be spread out over the group's children so they don't jump to new locations.
You can use SVG_Get_root_reference in a loop to find the topmost group of the clicked object (the last one whose TYPE is not "svg"). Unless an ID needs to be meaningful, I've been letting the 4D SVG Engine set the ID (SVG_SET_OPTIONS), or setting the ID to GENERATE UUID.
