DSDPlus FMP-Map: Display positions by Group ID instead of frequency

I couldn't find any documentation on the CSV format for FMP-Map anywhere (I've looked at examples, of course).
My question is: can I display positions on the map not linked to frequency, but linked to Group ID instead? In LRRP, I was able to easily create a fake link to RID, but it's not very convenient, and linking to Group ID in FMP-Map would be much more convenient. Thanks in advance!

What would be the reason for that?
It's all quite banal: in TIII, work happens across multiple sites, so frequency alone is uninformative, and not all transmitting equipment broadcasts positions. For example, there are the same Forestry and National Parks around the house, and something might be happening in the mountains, which doesn't interest me, or it could be nearby on the river or in the forest area. The territory is divided into groups, effectively by sites, but there are several territories on one site. Within groups, however, everything is clearly delineated. In the console, it's not very convenient to see a bunch of uninteresting L/Os during frequent exchanges, but if we could see the group on the map, it would be informative. Therefore, for towers, for example, where RID is static, I've marked them through LRRP, so at least I can quickly see them on the map. Essentially, I could mark it on paper next to the map, but it's somewhat inconvenient and not aesthetically pleasing. This way, any family member could look at/open the laptop if there's a suspicion that some emergency is happening and more or less understand where, if the FMP-Map displayed the current call by group.
There might be other ways to solve this, but I haven't thought of any yet.
