KineticJS drag multiple images without grouping them

is it possible to drag all children elements of a layer without grouping them?

I have different layers with image-elements and a path shape. The path draws a bubble around the images. If the user drag the bubble to another place, all images should move there, too.

But it should be also possible to drag a single element. At the moment, it is possible to drag a single element and to drag the bubble, but there is no combination...

Solution

Yes, you can drag "related" nodes when a "container" node is dragged:

add a class to all children of a bubble (for example, each child's name:"bubble1")
on bubble dragstart, save the bubble's starting position
on bubble dragmove, calculate how far the bubble has been dragged and reposition all related elements by that same distance
