No. It is also a good way to have your system break.

Re: upgrade only a group
Partial upgrades are bad on a rolling release system.

Re: upgrade only a group
but like every upgrade, all packages upgraded carry their dependencies .....

Re: upgrade only a group
But if you only update part of your system, that may pull in a new version of a library and leave the rest of your system complaining that it needed the old one.
But feel free to do as you wish. You can join the people whose system did not boot or pacman stopped working after the openssl update...
