You have to create a pseudo effect. You can do it by hand by modifying AE's PresetEffects.xml file, or you can use a tool like Pseudo Effect Maker from aescripts. Just Google "how to create pseudo effects in after effects".

You have a couple of choices. If you open the Extended Graphics workspace, you have access to adding expression controls like sliders, color controls, point controls, and menus, as well as any property you can animate on any layer in any nested comp on a single UI panel.

 

The only other option for creating groups is to use 3rd party extensions that can build effects controllers or write your own scripts.

 

You might want to check https://aescripts.com/pseudo-effect-maker/.  There are others out there.
