[Closed] Merge UI vs getMAXFileObjectNames – merge groups using their names?

Hi!

What I want is to merge a group(from external file) using its name. But there is a problem that can be seen in the video here:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1uYZkS-BJ7R103Tj6gz4zM3K4G7HxXgF5

With few words – when the getMAXFileObjectNames is used we can see only the names of all objects in the arbitrary scene. If there are a groups in this arbitrary file we see the names of those groups and there is no information which objects belongs to those groups. When the File-Merge is used in the Merge rollout we can see the names of the groups(without the names of the objects that belongs to those groups).

Is there are any maxscript command that will give me the same result as in the listbox in the Merge rollout?
Is it possible to merge groups using their names?
