containedin=Comment doesn't work

I wanted to define a simple syntax highlight match for a literal word and have it only match inside comments. I tried
  syntax match myword /WORD/ containedin=Comment contained
but quickly found that this doesn't do much since the Comment group is never used literally, but only linked to by other groups like vimComment.

Is there a way I can get my syntax group matched in all Comment syntax groups without adding each one individually?
