There is no such API at this time.  However, there is a framework in 
Wireshark to export "objects" from a protocol.  Right now only HTTP is 
supported (see File - Export - Objects - HTTP).  See 
gtk/export_object*.[ch] for more details on the implementation.  Is 
something like this what you are looking for?
