In my opinion, one of the problems with Photoshop is that Photoshop does not have the ability to mask a folder on a single layer, and to merge the files of that folder.
It seems none of us understand what you want to say. Could you post an image that shows that you'd like to achieve so we can imagine it (at least me), and perhaps somehow help...
I feel stupid. Now we know you want to use not regular mask, but clipping mask. Probably on a group, not on layer like it's shown on image? Isn't Jerry Syder answer that you want - using normal mask on a group, that you don't have to merge layers inside then?
You can use 3 steps workaround, that you can automate recording an action to trigger by shortcut:
- select transparency of a layer that's below group (hold Ctrl & click on Thumbnail in 'Layer' panel - 'Add Layer Mask' (3rd icon from left again on bottom of 'Layer' panel - drag layer mask to group that is over a layer with added mask
excellent. You are right But again, I think it might be a mistake that the group itself did not have this possibility. But that's what you were trained was good. If it was possible for the group itself, it was easier. In the world, the fastest way is to get to the big work. And I do not think that this option will create a problem.
You are right that could be good solution. I might to script it though somehow that you will be able to add clipping mask to a group. That will be nothing like a workaround I used, so without visible 'arrow' of clipping mask, but might be replaced by for ex. some colour on a certain folder that was used for, and that'll be more consitent. btw Action works only for recorded name of group, so each time you had to have for ex. 'Group 1' name while with a script you can work with any group name.
There is no such name on that forum, are you sure you have the same like here? Anyway I can't find anyone with this name, so better send me a message, by clicking my name in previous message.
Unfortunately, I could not send you a message there because my country is banning me and I will open these pages with the filter breaker. And apparently there is no way to send the message to you.
I recieved few empty messages from you. But then after I replied for one of them you were able to answer back. So at least you can talk after someone contact you first or react for your attempt to say anything.

In particular what you mean by
seems mystifying to me.
