Sure, and it can be done. For example in my perl language 'extension'  
I use the definition below:

         {    name = 'string.unquoted.heredoc.quote.html.perl';
             begin = "<< *'HTML' *;";
             end = '^HTML$';
             patterns = ( { include = 'text.html.basic'; } );
         },
