Isn't _something_ like what you want already present. I agree it is
not _exactly_ the same, but it is very similar. Taking your example of
the TCP protocol:
- Select any frame.
- In the Packet Details pane
 - click + to expand the TCP protocol
 - click + to expand the Flags.
- Select a flag of your choice (e.g. SYN)
- Right-click and choose "Prepare a filter > Selected", and
""tcp.flags.syn == X" appears in the display filter field!

Abhik.
