The mechanism is already in there:
${address:$h_from:}
From spec.txt:
${address:<string>}
The string is interpreted as an RFC 2822 address, as it might appear in a
header line, and the effective address is extracted from it. If the string
does not parse successfully, the result is empty.
From this you could extract the domain or the local part as:
${domain:${address:$h_from:}}
${local_part:${address:$h_from:}}
