The only place I've found backreferences useful is when writing a header
rule that is looking for the same string in multiple headers.
Other than that, captures are very rare.
If SA had a way to capture a match from rule1 and use that in rule2 you
might see more of that.

So it can be done, but just not between separate rules?
If it cannot be done between separate rules, are there any plans for
this feature in future updates, and would anyone else find it useful?
I believe it has been discussed before, specifically regarding the
__TO_IN_SUBJ rule in 70_sandbox.cf
It could be worth discussing again. Perhaps you could write a proof of
concept and see what other use cases it has?
