This does not seem to work on the Epic Link field, even when it works on other text fields.

Maybe you can use scriptrunner issueFieldMatch function. See https://jamieechlin.atlassian.net/wiki/display/GRV/Scripted+JQL+Functions#ScriptedJQLFunctions-issueFieldMatch%28subquery,fieldname,regexp%29

Maybe try to use Script runner and execute a scripted JQL function. At least I made it work for a version field:
