No, that's what the 2nd pane is for.

You might consider writing dissectors for the protocols you use, as this
would be the clean solution. It's not too difficult if you know
programming in ANSI C.

It would be difficult (and annoying in usability terms) to "mask" data

length of int (int can have 32 or 64 bits on the platforms we support), ...
