That seems like a fun exercise. so:

#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
   (defun org-occur-open (uri)
     "Visit the file specified by URI, and run `occur' on the fragment
   \(anything after '#') in the uri."
     (let ((list (split-string uri "#")))
                (org-open-file (car list) t)
                (occur (mapconcat 'identity (cdr list) "#"))))
   (org-add-link-type "occur" 'org-occur-open)
#+END_SRC

and you can use a link like:

occur:m/file.txt#regex
