Not elegantly, but it can be done:

:let @a=''|g/pattern/let @a=@a." ".matchstr(getline('.'), @/)

(you can change the joining string from " " to "\n" if you want each
match on its own line in the gathered results)

This will accumulate the matches in register "a" for your pasting
pleasure.

It will only do the first match, as you'd have to better define the
behavior you want if there are multiple matches on the same line.
