I have multiple match\_phrase clauses. Is there a way to access the matching phrases (the match\_phrase results and which clauses matched) and their position for each document? I'm looking for a way to create a plugin or painless script to do that.

The highlights object will typically return you all the occurrences of matches and the fields they match in.
