The Wireshark GUI has some panels for data sources on the bottom which shows 
"Frame" and "Decrypted DTLS data". If something like "dtls.data.data" and/or 
"dtls.data.str" (or something generic for all data sources) would be added, 
then that would solve this problem.

Though I don't know how feasible this is, in terms of memory and CPU.

Kind regards,
