Don't know exactly how to do it myself, but there will be an option
there where you can specify the z coordinate as a way to break it up
into groups.

And herein lies the challenge. The selections themselves will give index groups per frame, may vary in size, and the individual molecules themselves will likely occupy each slice discontinuously with respect to time. So a lot of effort would have to be made to make per-molecule sub-trajectories to compute a diffusion coefficient for a given time frame in which the molecule continuously satisfies the criterion, then calculated again over another period of time if the molecule moves out and comes back (otherwise one would get a spurious contribution to the MSD if a molecule seems to jump around). I suppose it can be done, but only very tediously in reassembling frames to make sub-trajectories, then looping over every molecule individually in doing so.
