An expert info might be a good idea.

A mechanism to allow packet-matching expressions (what we have been calling
"display filters" even though they're also used, for example, for specially
coloring matching packets rather than filtering out non-matching packets) to
trigger the addition of expert info items might be an interesting enhancement
for this and other cases.

If features such as this are user-configurable - i.e., if they're done by
user-editable coloring rules or "expert info rules" - it might soften some
objections to checks such as that, as they'd fall under the heading of
user-configurable policy rather than compiled-in mechanism.
