Is there a way to Group Whiteboard items?

Is there a way to group the items on a whiteboard?  For example we want to create a custom card with additional text (in the corners) that is linked to other cards via lines. When we move the card, the text doesn't also move unless you multi-select. It would be helpful if we could group visual items, so that moving the "card" would also move the text that sits on top of it.

@David Shulman , have you tried creating a section, adding desired items on it, and locking them there (right-click on an item -> Lock)? Then, you should be able to move them all at once by dragging the section itself.

Items within a section do not need to be locked to move together with the section; they will move with the section regardless.

Locking objects prevents them from being edited (for example, you can't edit the text of a sticky note if it is locked) and also prevents them from being moved. However, you can still move the containing section if there is one.

I look forward to seeing a grouping feature added to Confluence Whiteboards.
