I think this is a general problem for all controls, whether groups or 
not, whether shared or not.

You might consider 'send "openControl" to * in -1' in preOpenCard at 
the stack script where * doesn't work but reminds you to make a loop.  
This means that groups get them more than once and the target should be 
checked in their handlers (if they have them).  This way your 'list' is 
those controls with the defined handler.  I don't know if these will 
execute before or after openCard.

(BTW, some groups do not see the background behind the card in the 
message path.)
