Opening Group Folders in Explorer Tabs

Hi,
I saw the recent updates of and discussion about using Windows explorer tabs in groups. I gave it a try but was not able to achieve what I wanted. In general (for non-grouped favorites), I want to open a folder in a new explorer window and not in a new tab. Hence, I have Options > File Managers > Selected File Manager: Windows Explorer > Use tabs instead of opening in a new window unchecked.
However, in a specific group I want to open an application plus a new explorer window that contains several folders in tabs. In the Basic Settings of the group favorite I have selected Add folders to existing windows and checked Add folders in tabs of a new window. But instead of tabs the folders are each opened in their own new explorer window.
Is there a way to achieve what I want?
In case it's relevant: I'm using Windows 11 Pro 24H2 and its virtual desktop feature.
Many thanks
