The property only applies to mouse selections, not to objects selected 
by script. It should work the same way outside the IDE.

If you will always have only that single group that you don't want to 
disturb, you can do something like this:

   if "myGroupName" is in the name of control x then next repeat

and make sure the short name of the group is always unique. That's not 
much different than checking the owner though:

   if "card" is in the name of the owner of control x then deleteTheThing
