I have some code that does this in my Gnus configuration.  It is only
known to work for NNML, however, and I believe it depends on the
ID-tracking support used to enable the fancy-split-with-parent feature.
It does, however, successfully find messages across groups.

The Gnus registry could probably be used to enable similar support for
other backends.

I will try to get my code sane-ified and pushed to Worg sometime this
week.
