What sort of information?

As Anders suggested, you *can* give it global information through a preference 
setting.

We should probably also add a notion of "conversations" available to dissectors 
at multiple layers (a notion more general than the current 
address-and-port-endpoint-pair notion, that can include multiple address 
layers, "circuits" for protocols that have a virtual circuit ID of some sort, 
and conversations at layers above the transport layer), and per-"conversation" 
settings as well, with Wireshark offering a GUI to let you select a 
conversation and set one or more of a set of dissector-specified parameters.

A menu item to do what?
