Yeah, I don't think that is possible.  I think all you can do without
digging around is perhaps split the linespec into tokens.  Otherwise you
have to deal with cases like "FUNCTION:LABEL" differently; and proposed
syntax like an optional "OBJFILE:" prefix no longer makes sense.

If you are looking for some kind of precision in specifying linespecs, I
think implementing an argument form would be more fruitful:

    break -objfile O -file F.c -function F

Then one can write exactly what one means in the situations that require
it.

Tom
