Yes thats what I was looking for. Thank you.

Well I am interested in using newly created expressions to filter packets
that are related. Indirectly what i want is end to end host filtering(not
based on protocols).

Also

For eg,
Suppose there is an ARP reply from a given host address. I also want
wireshark to display the ARP request of that host only....So what I am
saying is that wireshark should display only ARP reply and the ARP request
of the particular host. It shouldnt display the previous ARP packets from
that host. Maybe like the last 2 packets - ARP reply and ARP request so
that those 2 packets can be monitored in detail.
