Via a phone call, I've had tickets both linked and un-linked.
As a diamond, be sure to use the priority number. While wherever you get will work, with luck you'll get Chisholm and the process will be even easier.

I do this all the time. They will link the reservation when you make it. They will seat everyone next to each other. You may or may not be able to do EC. Either way choose the middle seat so if you get upg, your group can change seats easier if needed. You may have to pay baggage fees for the others in your group since it is a separate reservation. That is why I gift my wife gold.
