Yes, select objects and press Ctrl+g or menu Objects > Group

To ungroup objects press Ctrl+Shift+g or Ojects > Ungroup.

>b.      Can I create icons that represent groups: Instead of one leaf
item, when I drop the icon in, it expands into its constituent objects

Do you mean drop an object from a sheet and the object is actually a group 
containing multiple objects?

I don't think this functionality is currently available, but I might be wrong.

Subject: Grouping of objects

 
Hi,
 
I have two specific feature related questions:
 
a.      Is grouping supported: Can I select a  bunch of items
together and treat them as one object? Can thisgroup have its own properties?
b.      Can I create icons that represent groups: Instead of one leaf
item, when I drop the icon in, it expands into its constituent objects
 
 
Thanks in advance, and regardless, awesome tool.
-Ambar
