If you already have a group on the cards you need a new item on you can 
edit the group and copy paste the control into it and it will show up 
where ever you have the group now. nice.

If you don't already have the group then you can place group via the 
menu item.

or like you said you can script it in.

Also you can delete the group from individual cards after scripting it 
to them all.

Why don't you want to add it to the original control group????
