One way would be to use two input controls (for instance text boxes):
one for the target group, and one for the group name.

(:input text foxgroup "{$Group}":) group name (default value current
group)
(:input text newedit "":) new page name (default empty)
(:foxtemplate "":) (Fox needs a template, so we give it an empty one)
newedit will open the new page in the normal page edit form.

see above.

If one does not want two input boxes or controls, but just one text
box, in which to write both group and page name, like Group.Page,
then we need to write a small filter function for Fox, to extract the
group name for use of the template.
