flying on ground speed i.o IAS/Mach # ?

Hi, as I do more and more sequencing I often wondered if it would be possible to give an instruction to the aircraft to fly a certain ground speed instead of IAS or a Mach number ?
This would certainly make it easier, but I don't think real traffic is the right environment to try this out... I'm only fully qualified for 4 months now, so forgive me my "unknowingness" ( if that's a word ? )...
BTW, I do area control, not approach... but with sometimes 6 aircraft inbound to EHAM at the same time, we do sequence them
