constructing an Xpath using regex

    I am currently testing a website using Selenium / C# / Nunit framework.

    I see from an example on this site:-

    http://www.seleniumwiki.com/software-testing/using-regexpi-in-selenium-istextpresent/

    that it is possible to use a regex to validate text on a page, e.g.

    selenium.IsTextPresent("regexpi:This is SeleniumWiki.com")

    Does anybody know if it is possible to use a regex to construct an actual Xpath, for example, if i want to find and use each link with a href attribute?

    <a href="/latest_showcases.aspx" id="LatestShowcases1_lnkViewAll">View All</a>

    so instead of - //a[@id='LatestShowcases1_lnkViewAll']@href - as the Xpath, i could get something like - //a[@id=regexi:??]@href

    thanks.
