You might be able to get close if you use PostingsHighlighter: it tells you the offset of each matched Passage, and you can correlate that to which field value (assuming you stored the multi-valued fields).
You must index offsets into your postings. But there are caveats ... if you use positional queries, PostingsHighlighter will find highlights that didn't necessarily match the query ... and if you use MultiTermQueries (author:Be*) you have to pre-rewrite this otherwise PH won't highlight the terms ...
