There is any number of "targeting" expressions. A simple web search can turn up the various solutions using lookAt() or Math.atan() or even more complex solutions with custom vector math. Entirely depends on what you need.

Could be as trivial as

 

mPos=thisComp.layer("Group 1 Null").transform.position;

mTar=thisComp.layer("Target").transform.position;

 

lookAt(mPos,mTar)

 

You just need to create the reference Nulls for the Group in E3D and create the target Null.
