You can assign mutiple groups to a single switch on a saturn anyway.
Not sure what happens when one is on and the other off and you execute a
toggle on both - will they just keep flipping over?
If so you'll have to use a scene.

Which switch are you using ? I think you may need to support scenes to get
this to work. I am only used to DLT's on which this is quite possible as
you describe but you would not define a new group to do it. I have observed
that you can get some weird behavour on cbus - it seems to have memory. If
a switch thinks something is off but you turned it on on the dimmer itself
for example a single push of the switch would not turn it off. You would
need to press it twice to get the desired effect. You can get stuff like
this after power cuts until the state all gets itself sorted out.
