   ### What do you see as an issue?
   
   [Original SO 
question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75234917/using-airflow-taskgroup-without-setting-direct-dependencies)
   TaskGroup allows to set direct dependencies on the DAG's "outer" tasks:
   ```
   with DAG(...) as dag:
       t1 = DummyOperator(task_id="t1")
       t2 = DummyOperator(task_id="t2")
       t3 = DummyOperator(task_id="t3")
       t4 = DummyOperator(task_id="t4")
   
       with TaskGroup(group_id="myTG") as tg1:
           tg1 = DummyOperator(task_id="TG1")
           tg2 = DummyOperator(task_id="TG2")
           tg3 = DummyOperator(task_id="TG3")
   
           ##########################################################
           # setting direct dependencies on the "outer" DAG tasks: #
           ##########################################################
           tg1.set_upstream(t2)    
           tg2.set_upstream(t4)  
   
           # internal TG structure: 
           tg1 >> tg3
           tg2 >> tg3
   
       t1 >> t2
       t3 >> t4
   ```
   
   And the outcome is as expected:

   But this behavior is not documented and users might get the impression that 
this is some undefined behavior. TMHO this is a very nice feature which should 
be explicitly documented
   
   ### Solving the problem
   
   Adding a small paragraph in the TG doc section, describing that TG supports 
such tasks wiring, and not just the common configuration.
   
   ### Anything else
   
   _No response_
