This is a decision made by the routing table, so there's no good way to
'guess' where it will go before the packet reaches the outgoing queue of
the IP layer.

Well, the destination IP address should be easy to grab.  Even if you do
get hold of that though, you may have to listen to multiple pcap
connections to find out where the routing decisions send the packet on
its way out.
