Well, some of the TCP based dissectors (I would guess HTTP for example).

In the "Packet Details" and "Packet Bytes" panes, just as all the other
dissectors. It will show the defragmented/desegmented bytes in the
packet bytes pane (unfortunately, this will become very slow if the
content will have only a medium size of some KB).

Yes, I know what you mean. There are a lot of protocols that would
benefit from a general way of handling such stream conversations.

That seems to become a common problem, where we might need a generalized
approach to show such stream content. The follow TCP stream window is
only a limited, of what a content window could show up...

Recently, some effort had been done to build graphs for general data
flow, we might need something similar for the various protocols content.
