I don't use nom. I've tried using parser combinator libraries in the past but generally don't like them. That said, I don't usually use regexes for this either. Instead, I just do things by hand. So I'm probably not the right person to answer your question unfortunately. I just know that more than one person has asked for this style of use case to be supported in the regex crate. :-)
