Sure, you can add any data to any document that you want, probably stored but not indexed in this case. It could even be a serialized Java object. Or an XML packet or a stringized map. Or... whatever suits your fancy. If it's not indexed, only stored it'll make your index larger but have a negligible impact on search performance.
The trick is getting token offsets to put in your meta data. You'll have to get the term positions and store them, but it's do-able.
