The discussion you point out is more a suggested workaround to use Perl in a custom command than any actual discussion of adding such a facility to Geany.
The Glib regular expression library used by Geany allows such replacements, but it isn't used by Geany for replacements because it seems to only do replace all. Somebody could provide a well written pull request to change Geany to use this.
