Step one: Load a figure and use a "open mouth" morph to better see what you're doing.

Step two. Start the grouping tool and create a new group.

Step three: "Remove All" so that the head turns black. Now "Add Material". Use the tounge material so the new group includes the tounge mesh.

Step four: The tounge turns red. That means that it is now selected as a new group.

Step five: Make the new group permanent by assigning a "New Material" to the tounge.

Step six: If you did it right, the tounge now turns green once you close the Grouping Tool.

Step seven: Add a magnet to the head.

Step eight: Select the magnet zone, and under properties, select the "New Group"

Step nine: The magnet now deforms the tounge ONLY, not the head. You can now make your own tounge morphs. You can add more magnets for complicated morphs, but again you must select the "New Group" for the magnet zones.

Step ten: Once your finished morphing, set all head morphs to zero, and spawn a new morph for the head. Now you can delete the magnet (Or save it to your prop library), and export the new tounge morph for distribution.

For the P7 MorphBrush: Just tic "Group" and select the "New Group" The morphbrush will now only affect the tounge only, not the head. You can combine your morphbrush morphs with all other morphs you have.

Step twelve: Once you're finished, click "Save a copy as". This will save the morphbrush made morph ONLY,

If you used other tounge morphs, you can combine them later with your new morphbrush made morph into a new one.
(But don't forget to set all other morphs you don't need back to zero before you spawn a new head morph target)

Finally:
If you create a "New Group", you basically split a bodypart into sub-parts with new materials.
You can re-assign the original material with the grouping tool to the new group so that MAT files will work again, but it's safer to just save a copy of your re-grouped character to your figure library for future use, and export your new morphs as objects and use them with your original (un-regrouped) copy of that figure.
(Or use MorphManager to transfer your new morphs from the regrouped figure to your original one)

You need to play around with the placement of the Mag zone and the Mag base. Specifically, you will at least need to moe the Mag zone down a bit.
