Oh, I think I follow. Dependencies are what JAMF calls the target of a smart group. Those conditions you enter are called dependencies. 

 

There are ways to do what you are wanting through API. Prune is a good tool to use if you are looking to get rid of unused stuff. I have never used JAMF GROUPS SCOPED but it reads the JAMF API for what you are looking for. There are tons of feature requests for this, but as per usual with JAMF, feature request is where something goes to die. Start slinging some upvotes to feature request :).

Smart Groups and Advanced Inventory searches are meant to be automated. Static groups are meant to be manually populated. The general concept of a static group does not leant to automation with dependencies.
