group_call returns a combined dial string that makes a call to its members. You can produce such a string yourself, and the end result will be the same. So, if you have an external application that controls the dialplan, it can create such strings directly, without using the groups in the directory.

If I have an incoming call and I want to ring 3 extensions, is it better to bridge to a group or ring the multiple end points by specifying them individually? Which situation would be a fit for each one?
