There are a couple of things you can do:
* The "right" way would be to modify the grammar, but this could
be prohibitive.
* The easy way is that whenever you see something you are
interested in (for example inline comments), you track those,
and keep them around in a variable in the tokenizer that you
can later query from the parser, just like we do with the
value of the token.
