I wrote this plugin to address this feature:

SrchRplcHiGrp.vim : Search and/or replace based on a syntax highlight group
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=848


It supports the 3 types of visual modes (linewise, block and character).

You can either search for something in the correct highlight group, or you
can do search and replaces on those same searches.

The web page has examples of usage.

If you run into something it can't do, I am always open to suggestions.

Enjoy.
David

Not currently possible. Years ago, when I started working on Vim this 
was one of my first patches. Unfortunately, I lost it.

Yes.
