Hello

Then place the tools in the Carier. You could also add the pockets to the carier and place the tools in the pockets. You cannot connect a groop of tools to an operation. An operation can only use 1 tool.

I can't think of an easy way to do this.
I would simply add a tag to the tool name i.e.
STEEL-1.0-ENDMILL
STEEL-0.500-BORE
TITAN-.750-MILL
TITAN-.500-MILL
ALUM-.125-4FLUTE
ALUM-0.030-DRL
etc, etc.
At least this way you can easily see and choose what you want.
