Hotkey click to toggle Bring to Front+Raise and Minimize All Windows in a Group

An idea to improve upon an existing (but "Completed") idea: https://tweaker.userecho.com/en/communities/1/topics/28-raise-and-minimize-all-windows-in-a-groupcombo-at-once

In the Advanced Options->Mouse Button Control, you can add a shortcut such as:
taskbaritem|ctrl+click     12
which restores all windows within a specific group however it seems like you need a second shortcut to minimize the grouped windows:
taskbaritem|ctrl+shift+click 9
Could a new "value data" function (eg 16) be added such that it toggles with a "Bring to Front" for all windows in a group too?

The way, I've set up 7+ Taskbar Tweaker is to show all the windows in a group (on the taskbar) and some windows in the group are not limited to the same app.
eg.
Group1: FirefoxWindow1+NotepadWindow1
Group2: FirefoxWindow2+FirefoxWindow3+NotepadWindow2
If there was a single hotkey(+mouse click) to bring all windows of a specific group to the front then it helps to focus on a task that relates to those specific grouped windows. You can think of these groups as "Workspaces" for specific tasks.

The reason to add the "Bring to Front" inclusion is that if you have multiple windows open (not minimized) but not "in front" then the shortcut to "Restore group windows" is ineffective it only brings forward the current window on the taskbar that your mouse is over whereas I would like to have them all brought forward. Currently, you have to manually click a specific window rather than lazily Ctrl+Click one of the windows in that group to bring them all to the front. Additionally, manually clicking a window in that group may also change the layering of which is in front of which windows. One single shortcut to simply maintain the group layering but minimize and restore them to the front is good for focusing without needing to re-layer clicking the windows back into the preferred overlapping order. This is more relevant when you have groups with 3 or more windows and your screen space is limited so you positioned certain windows above other windows on purpose.
