What I'd like to do is develop some kind of a plugin that could be used to walk the dissected packet's tree and selectively export some of the data.
Take a look at tap-protohierstat.c (for an indication of how to write a tap that takes the the protocol tree as an argument) and the stuff in plugins/stats_tree (for an indication of how to write a plugin tap). 

Walking the tree is left as an exercise to the reader.
