Can you apply kinematics to group of objects?

I have 5 objects that I need to move with Kinematics at the same time by the same distance and speed. Right now I have 5 identical kinematics running in parallel.

Is it possible to apply a single kinematic movement to the group of objects instead of creating 5 kinematic movements which would be identical?

I tried putting the 5 objects in a group and applying the kinematic to token.object (where object is the group) but it doesn't work.

I know I could move the objects to a container and move the container but I was wondering if there is another option.

Thanks,

@Patrick Cloutier, I think you can apply each single object to an existing kinematic node by initkinematics command.

Something like this. GroupKinematics.fsm
