The first thing I would say is that this kind of question is best placed 
on the regular scribus list, rather than scribus-dev.

No, there is no way to identify groups of objects. Since you must have a 
list of objects when you make a group, keeping track of a list of names 
of objects is really a function of Python itself.

It's hard to know what you're doing, but from the sound of it, I imagine 
this is going to be much easier to do with the main GUI interface, 
rather than writing scripts for it. You might do well to familiarize 
yourself with Scribus to see how easy things like this can be. The 
Properties palette is a wonderful tool.
