Cambridge dictionary
Respect
a particular feature or detail
This proposal differs from the last one in many important respects/one important respect.
In most respects, the new film is better than the original.
Regard
in this/that regard
in this particular way
The union is the largest in the country and in this/that regard is best placed to serve its members.
I'd like to know if they are interchangeable and how to know which to use, the first dictionary says they both can be said but the others say nothing.
Could I get thoughts?

"In this/that regard" & "In this/that respect" = Yes, these can be used interchangeably However, just the words "respect" and "regard," cannot necessarily be used interchangeably, because each has more than one meaning and they are not all parallel meanings. I hope this helps. -S
