ATM there is no way to select a dictionary according to such preferences.
You can only assign one dictionary to a locale. 

So the only way is to have several dictionaries and  to modify the
dictionary URL in the registry of LO. You can find the code to do so in this
extension:
http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/dictionnaires-francais
(in DictionarySwitcher.py)
This extension allows users to switch between 4 dictionaries in menu Tools >
Language > French spelling dictionaries…

The drawback is LO has to be closed and relaunched to apply the
modification.

Regards,
Olivier
