The tokens are all there, so it is "theoretically possible".  But the
performance would be very bad because it would require iterating over
all the segment data, basically a worst-case query.  Even then, you
wouldn't have information about hit counts.  To do it reasonably would
require redesigning the data format to take this use-case into
consideration.
