In Wireshark, it uses DNS or what ever you manually have written in the ethers or hosts file. Whois only shows assignments from the various Internet Registries. You can of course infer names (say looking at the Host: header in a HTTP request) but this isn't done. Unfortunately their is no magic

Unfortunately, you are going to have to do a bit of your own parsing I think. While a lot of the fields are properly parsed out as named fields, some are left as unnamed text items. You can see this if you look at a DNS response packet and select useful fields (such as the IP address in a resource

Any dissector needs to be validate it's input and make sure it doesn't make errant conclusions on what is presented. For example many protocols have fields that indicate lengths of data within the frame. However any dissector needs to make sure that it doesn't just believe those fields as being
