Use the filter: option and supply a filter function that checks for isGroupMember().

That way, only objects that are members of a group can be picked.

Once you have a node, you could check for it's .parent property to get the group head. For safety, you should probably also call isGroupHead() on that one and if that returns false, you should keep traversing the .parent nodes until you have a group head.
