Hi List!

I've added FI_LINK to the possible flags in field_info.

This flag should be set, if a field references another packet (and using FT_FRAMENUM), like the fields: "response to this is in packet: 23"

The field marked as a link will be rendered in blue with an underline (GTK2 only).

If doubleclicked on this field in the tree view, the selection in the packet list will be jump to the referenced packet (working much like the context menu item "Go to corresponding packet", which might become useless now).

I've checked in the mechnism itself, and marked some of the fields in the tcp and dcerpc dissectors.

BTW: I've also slightly reduced the height of the rows in the tree view (for GTK2), however theres still a lot of space wasted.

Regards, ULFL.
