References in regular expressions in MySQL?

Hi,

Sorry for the noob Q, however, in most languages regular expressions permit you to reference matches:

/abc(.*?)ghi/i applied to abcdefghi would return a match with a reference to: def

Is it possible to do this with MySQL's REGEXP system, or is it only able to give a 'Yes/No' on an expression?

Regards.
Atari
