Comments.Text: Sorry, after a second glance at the core code, I don't think it's possible without writing extension code. I only see batch update fujnctionality in advanced search which needs a valid cache-key. Maybe it's possible to fake an advanced search in an extension and link to batch update page. A general extension allowing to call batch update with group id param would be beneficous for many civi users I think.
