Dissectors themselves can't have UI, but..

...that'd be implemented via a tap, which is a separate piece of code  
from a dissector, although the dissector does queue up work for a tap.

See, for example, the epan/dissectors/packet-afp.c dissector, the gtk/ 
afp_stat.c tap (for providing GUI statistics for AFP in Wireshark),  
and the tap-afpstat.c tap (for providing command-line statistics for  
AFP in TShark).

Dissectors and taps can both be plugins.  See, for example, plugins/ 
stats_tree for a plugin tap.
