If this is done by right clicking over the frame selected, there would be no reason for the user to select the protocol.

The frame selected doesn't specify, by itself, which conversation layer is of interest - if you right-click in the topmost pane, and ask to follow a conversation, how can it infer whether you want all packets between those link-layer hosts, all packets between those IP hosts, or all packets between those {TCP,UDP,SCTP} endpoints?
