This is outside the design of OpenLayers. I have seen users hack things to do it, but it's hard. The problem is that fixed layers (Google is fixed because when you drag the map, it doesn't shift) live in a different DOM hierarchy, which makes solving this task more difficult. I would say that at this point, you'd probably be better using Google Maps directly to solve this problem than OpenLayers. If there was sufficient interest, research could be done into solving this problem; it likely wouldn't be too difficult, just difficult with the current code. (I can't comment on how difficult; it's possible that funding could motivate further investigation.)
