Is it possible to change the state of a "group"?

I have come across this problem before and could not find a way to change states of a group. I did find a sort of work around though.

attached is a .Story with the workaround

workaround:

lets say you have 3 shapes on the slide, a circle, a square, and a star. You want to group them and when a user clicks the group, change its state to "visited". 

we know that doesnt work so,

place the star on the screen, go into the state editor for that star, create a new state "Custom State 1"

while editing this new state, insert your circle and square. 

now duplicate (its important to duplicate not add new) this state "custom state 2"

change the circle, square, and star to look how you want it to look when visited.

done editing states

add trigger, change state of star to custom state 1 when timeline starts.

add trigger, change state of star to custom state 2 when user clicks star.

basically, you are creating a "group" within the states. and then just skipping the normal state at startup. do not reuse the default state names like "visited" "hidden" etc. for w/e reason ive come across some weird issues if i try to use them in my custom states. the attached .Story follows the above example.
