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.
