Not in Gnus, no.  All the Gnus buffers are just window dressing.  None
of the displayed text is ever used for anything.  The reason I added
the ability to create several different `mouse-face' region was that I
had done the same with `face', and adding it just meant adding a
couple more lines.  Whee!

I think the "put-face-on-parts-of-the-text" thing is kinda "useful",
though.  Check out topic mode now, where the topic name now is in bold
while the rest of the topic line uses the default face.  Looks kinda
neat. 

While we're on the subject, sort of -- I've hand-inlined stuff into
`gnus-summary-prepare-threads', and this time things actually
improved!  :-)  I got a "Generating summary..." time down from 11
seconds to 6 in a large group on my home computer.  That certainly
felt good.
