    I wouldnt spend too many more cycles on this. It is fruitless for what you want to achieve.

    You are better off to create a 3rd site, where your solution will actually live, and delegate access to the appropriate areas to each of the O365 Groups. (e.g. Group A can see and edit the lookup list, Group B can view the lookup list but not edit, and both Groups can update the list where the lookup is being used).

    My formal stance - Groups are ONLY for group-based collaboration. All custom "solutions" place in a dedicated SharePoint site (outside of the O365 Group construct).
