The way to do it is to type the first few letters of each person's name,
then Return to accept each one in turn. It's fast and easy. It's not
that you cannot do what you want - it's just you cannot do it with the
mouse anymore since Apple removed that function.

That's incorrect. You can select multiple people and choose File > New
Group From Selection with no dragging involved.
