Hello
Apologies for the delay in replying to your question.
Yes, you are still testing the covariation of the dependent variable(s)
with the independent variable(s). For the pooled within-group
regression, this test uses the within-group variation. That means that
differences in the group means of the dependent and independent
variables are removed from the analyses. In other words, the test is
asking whether the individual deviations of the dependent variable(s)
from their respective group means covary with the individual deviations
of the independent variable(s) from their respective group means.
In my (possibly biased) view, the most accessible reference with further
information on this is the following paper:
Klingenberg, C. P. 2016. Size, shape, and form: concepts of allometry in
geometric morphometrics. Development Genes and Evolution: 226: 113–137.

(Open access.)
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Chris

Dear friends,
It is getting hard to me to interpret the outcome of Pooled within regression in MorphoJ.
I understand that the aim of this analysis is to remove the effect of "group"
when studying covariation, but it is hard to understand the outcome: what am I testing
with the p-value that it gives to me? Am I still testing covariation of x on y? Or I am
testing differences in slopes of groups? Thanks beforehand
Some bibliography would be most wellcome
