Lets assume I have programmatically created a circle and some text,
that I want to align along the circle.
I am able to do so using the textPath element.
In addition I have a rectangular image (or any svg group <g>),
that I also would like to align to the circle
(the red rectangle in the image below is just an example; actually I would like to be able to align arbitrary svg groups <g> as image labels on the nodes of a chord diagram.).
However, textPath only seems to work for text elements.
=> Is there something similar that works for group elements?
Or do I need to manually calculate the transformation for my group
(following from some tangent of the circle)?
(A workaround could be to create some hidden text with a single letter and
the same size as my group ... align it and grab its transformation. However, that feels ugly.)
In addition I have a rectangular image (or any svg group ), that I
also would like to align to the circle (see red rectangle in the
example image below).
However, textPath only seems to work for text elements.
You can use the rectangle unicode character ▮
In this case you will be able to include it in one textPath command along with other words
<svg width="400" height="400" viewBox="0 0 400 400">

You can use any unicode character that suits you

</textPath>
</text>
</svg>
If necessary, you can make the animation of the letters
<svg width="400" height="400" viewBox="0 0 400 400">

As #Paul LeBeau commented:
No there is no automatic way to do that. You have to position it
yourself
Consider adding svg images to text using absolute positioning
Since any text in SVG is a vector object, it has absolute coordinates x, y, as the first character of the word and the last.
Using this you can position an icon or any other vector image to the beginning or end of the text.
I put the icon in the <symbol> tag and position it at the end of the word using the <use> tag

As a starting point here is the workaround I mentioned.
It uses some invisible placeholder text and extracts the transformation information with
placeHolder.getBoundingClientRect();
and
placeHolder.getRotationOfChar(0);
The result is only an approximation that depends on the font size and on the character of the placeholder.
var svg = document.getElementById('svg');
var text = document.createElement('text');
text.setAttribute('fill','black');
svg.appendChild(text);
var placeHolder = document.getElementById('placeholder');
var placeHolderBounds = placeHolder.getBoundingClientRect();
var angle = placeHolder.getRotationOfChar(0);
var group = document.getElementById('my-group');
var groupBounds = group.getBoundingClientRect();
var dx = 0; //groupBounds.width/2;
var dy = -groupBounds.height;
var x = placeHolderBounds.x;
var y = placeHolderBounds.y;
var transform = 'translate(' + x +','+ y +') '+
'rotate('+ angle +') '+
'translate('+ dx +','+ dy +')';
group.setAttribute('transform', transform);

My goal is to get everything covered by the stroke to be shown "darker" than the remaining portion of the circle. However the effect that is happening is the opacity of the stroke is compounding with the groups opacity so it doesn't have the contrast it needs to have.
Ideally it would look something like this...
Would inverting the pieces be an option? Instead of darkening the section, lighten the inverse? I removed the fill-opacity on the outer svg, changed the stroke of the inner path to white and increased the opacity to .6. I did not change the path, though, this was just to demonstrate the concept.

I am trying to follow the example here under the cloneNode section (fourth occurrence of 'cloneNode' in the document). The document says it's a DRAFT so i'm wondering if these features don't exist with SVG yet??
Here is my HTML:
<html>
<head>
<script>
var Root=document.documentElement
function clone(){
var G=document.getElementById("groupid")
alert('hi')
var NewG=G.cloneNode(true)
alert('bye')
var move="translate("+0+","+30+")"
NewG.setAttributeNS(null,"transform",move)
Root.appendChild(NewG)
}
clone()

As you can see, the alert 'bye' doesn't work. Thanks in advance for the help.
When you call getElementById, the element doesn't yet exist. Put the script at the end of the body :

This seems to be more complicated than need be. Start with just your pawn path in your root svg. Then clone, and append to root. One of the important things to address that once you clone, you should change the id of the cloned element. Otherwise you will get a conflict when addressing the original cloned element.

To make it clear what was causing errors:
var Root=document.documentElement was wrong because we need to make sure the new clone gets added to its parent SVG, not at the end of the page. Instead we must add an id="mySVG" to the parent and then use var Root=mySVG.
var G=document.getElementById("groupid") didn't grab the 'groupid' element because the code ran before the element existed. The solution is to trigger the code to run AFTER the page loads (use onload event, or move the script to the bottom of the body).
var move="translate("+0+","+30+")" was replacing the transform property in the SVG group, overwriting the old translate AND the scale(0.022). Therefore, while the clone existed after fixing the above two errors, it was so far down that it was out of the viewBox. Instead I should use var move="translate(0,1) scale(0.022)"
