Allow Follow Actions on sources that belong to a group

It would be beneficial to enable follow actions that mute or unmute audio sources based on their associated group color. This feature would allow users to solo audio sources or MIDI inputs linked to a specific group, making it easier to manage setups where multiple sources share the same MIDI input.
Use Case Example:
I have a MIDI keyboard set up as a source for two AUs (Audio Units).
There are two loop groups: green and yellow.
The loop sequence is as follows:
The green group is armed and records first.
After two green measures, the yellow group is armed and starts recording while the green group continues playing.
Current Behavior:
Without a follow action for group colors, both AUs play simultaneously during the recording of the green and yellow loops unless specific solo actions are configured for each source.
Proposed Feature:
Introduce follow actions linked to group colors. This would:
Allow automatic muting/unmuting of sources based on the active loop group.
Enable dynamic reconfiguration of inputs without breaking existing solo/mute setups.
Simplify workflows by adding an abstraction layer tied to groups instead of individual sources.
Benefits:
Streamlined source management for complex setups with shared MIDI inputs.
Greater flexibility in dynamically switching between groups.
Reduced need for manual reconfiguration when adding or modifying inputs.
