Yes, simply set:

    $PagePathFmt = array('{$Group}.$1');

This will cause all non-group-qualified link references to 
only refer to pages in the current group, and not look for any
groups of the same name.

Note that at some point in the future this might not work
as written anyway, since links will become relative to the
page in which they are written.  In that case you'll want to
write the links as:

    * [[{*$Group}/Topic1]]
    * [[{*$Group}/Topic2]]
    * [[{*$Group}/Topic3]]

so that they always refer to "Topic1", "Topic2", "Topic3" in the
currently displayed group.
