This sounds like a good candiate to implement in the Export Objects
framework. The main files are in gtk/export_object.c and .h. The
implementation I did is in gtk/export_object_http.c and someone else
wrote gtk/export_object_dicom.c. Take a look in
epan/dissectors/packet-http.c for the tap I added to push the
information to the export object feature when it is open.
