No this isn't possible, the regexes, or in their absence the built-in
tests, just distinguish between a message that indicates a file and
line number that Geany can jump to, and any other message.  The
purpose is to recognise the file and line information, not really to
separate types of messages.  The colour of messages is just to
indicate that you can click on them or not.
