Currently no breakpoint options/actions are available to XHR breakpoints, but we're already looking at adding some:

Web Inspector: Add regular expression support to XHR breakpoints        
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170099

The script location where the debugger will pause for an XHR breakpoint isn't known ahead of time (the same is true of DOM breakpoints) but this doesn't preclude us from adding Evaluate Script and Log Message actions for both breakpoint types.
