I have created a Photoshop action which:
Duplicates the current image.
Merges all visible layers.
Removes hidden layers.
Rearranges parts of image.
Adds the layer to a group.
Displays user interface to "Duplicate Layer Group" back to the original image. (Using action "Insert Menu Item...")
Closes the image without saving.
This is working but I would like to automatically duplicate the layer group back to the original image without having to select it from a drop-down box.
See Video:
Is there a way to do this? perhaps by adding a script or something?

Your problem may require scripting. The name of the original image is included in the recorded action so it only works for that particular image or at least one with the same file name.
A workaround that might be acceptable (though I admit hardly ideal) is to first duplicate your original image to rename it something generic, then run the action on that. For example, this duplicates a starting image as TEST then duplicates that, selects all layers and groups them, then copies that layer group back to TEST:
