Hello,

I have a custom dissector written in Lua and I would like to add
hyperlinks to my fields.
Is this something that is supported?
I would love to be able to make dissection fields be buttons and run
arbitrary Lua code on click.

I have source code locations as fields as strings and want to be able
to click on a them and have that open up in an editor. For example:
/usr/src/sys/net/if.c:4784: if_dequeue(vtnet0)

I don't see anything in the Lua API that would allow me to do that.

Best regards,
Karlo
