[QE-users] Calculating spin-orbit matrix elements?

Dear QE users,

Is it possible to get the matrix element < PSI | H_{SO} | PSI > or its 
modulus squared out of a Quantum ESPRESSO calculation or using one of 
its native post-processing tools? Here PSI is a well defined Bloch state 
of a given band index and k point and H_{SO} is the spin-orbit component 
of the DFT Hamiltonian.

Thanks in advance to whomever will answer.

Cheers
