Hi,

I have developed a patch so that if the user chooses "Field Information" (a
new context menu item) on a field type of FT_OID, a web page will be brought
up with their preferred reference page. (e.g.
http://www.alvestrand.no/objectid/2.5.18.5.html)

I just wanted to check that this is an appropriate way to go about it before
I check it in.
Specifically:
a) Is it architecturally correct to reference a dissector (packet-ber) from
the gtk\ portion of the tree?
b) Would a "link" style (like FT_FRAMENUM) be better than extending the
context menu?

There is a diff attached for the gtk/ files (packet-ber.[ch] patch not
included).

Comments?

Graeme
