I cant believe that this is still not an option in AI.
Compound path works ok if you want to treat a group of elements with exactly the same characteristics.
But if the grouped elements have different hues or transparency, then this information is lost after turning them into a compound path.
I find it hard to accept that Adobe cannot resolve this issue ..so most likely they prefer to pretend it does not exist.
