I know there is per-packet info, but is there a way of

This has been requested before, but has not been implemented to date in
Wireshark. A workaround you can use is to use a linked list from GLib
(which has a nice easy interface to them) and store that in the per
packet info. Each item in your list would correspond to a different
PDU.
But, as Neil asked, how would you know which PDU you were handling in
the dissector?
One of us should get around to implementing per-pdu packet info in
Wireshark itself. It wouldn't be too difficult. All we need is spare
time :)
Hrm; it gets quite a lot harder when your PDUs can themselves span
multiple packets (ie, there is no correspondence between PDUs and
packets). See H.223 for details...
