Hello,

My colleague and I would like to extend the AMQP dissector so that it may call 
other dissectors for the payload (Data).   The primary goal for us is to invoke 
the protobuf dissector but we will make it generic so any dissector may be 
called.

To achieve this we would borrow liberally from the MQTT dissector which already 
does this via a UAT table.  We plan to configure a similar table with 
(topic-pattern, dissector-name, dissector-additional-data). MQTT doesn't allow 
for additional-data but it is necessary to pass the protobuf data definition 
name and seems like a generally useful idea.

Is this a feature that is generally interesting and no one else is working on?  
We have completed much of this already just to figure out how to do it.  We can 
create a PR very soon.

Regards,
Ragnar Paulson
