On first glance, you are telling me that we must force users to assign

The group belongs to the Cited work not per citation of the work.
So the grouping would be stored with the bibliographic detail file in the save
files, not in the citation field inserted in the document.

That makes sense. How would the GUI work? Martha, you there? Any thoughts?

I know as a user that I'd rather
not have to do that, so perhaps we can figure out some other way.  Am
not sure how, mind you!
Easy, have a default group. For people who do not need sorting this can be a Default (no heading) group. For most of my History papers 80-90% of the cited works were Secondary (so that would the default for me) Then, either when adding cited works or latter when finishing the paper assign the few Primary
sources.

FWIW, here's an example of how the latex/bibtex multibib package works:

\usepackage{multibib}
\newcites{bk,art}%
         {References from books,%
          References from articles}
\bibliographystylebk{alpha}
\bibliographystyleart{plain}
...
\citebk[pp.~23--25]{milne:pooh-corner}
...
\citeart{einstein:1905}
...
\bibliographybk{book-bib}
\bibliographyart{art-bib}
