No, this feature is not available at the moment, it is really difficult to implement.

This was done in the date and hierselect elements. You can also try to avoid groups in groups by using different names for your elements such as group1_el1, group1_el2, group2_el1, group2_el2... It all depends on what exactly you are trying to do. HTH Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
