Comment # 2 on bug 10768 from 
-G fields gives the raw data, but it's not as intuitive as what I'm thinking
of. To get the display filter options you'd need to grep then awk it a bit
fancifully (since it's column 3, where column 2 has no clean delimiter) or read
through preceding columns of variable length (large enough to linebreak in
terminal sessions, plus not helpful for Windows users).

What I'm suggesting is similar to a tab-completion mechanic for display filters
in CLI, similar to command options in something like Cisco IOS or Juniper Junos
as a substitute for the GUI options for this.

In concept, the third column of -G fields with a search/return function, or a
column shift of -G fields, or a cleaner delimiter for awk (still in my opinion
probably not preferable).
