Use regular expressions on URLs to pull site explorer reports

I'd like to be able to use the site explorer tool without having to be confined to the way a site is structured. The ability to use regular expressions as a way to go beyond rigid folder paths would open up the ability to review how a site is performing at a topic or thematic level.
For example: let's say I would like to see how a site is performing for a given topic like "blood-pressure", but the site doesn't have a traditional, hierarchical URL structure where you have a specific folder for "blood-pressure" (example.com/health/blood-pressure/new-article-research-on-blood-pressure vs example.com/news-article-on-blood-pressure/ or example.com/health/new-research-on-blood-pressure). For the latter too examples, you would need some form of pattern matching to be able to review how the site is performing for the topic of blood pressure, because it doesn't have a specific folder for it where all the blood pressure content is contained.
I'd like to extend this sort of functionality to the new competitive share of voice reports and others like the organic competitors report. There are countless sites out there that don't have a typical deeply hierarchical URL structure where this would come in handy.
Thank you!
