Is there any possible way to insert a (fake/generated) frame into a packet list pane?
It does not have to be a frame with a number, just an entry line in a pane is enough.

The reason for doing this is a fact that there might be more structured chunks inside UDP payload. I would like to have each chunk listed separately in a packet
list pane and then being able to filter chunks (instead of complete frames).

tvb_new_real_data() will give you another tab in the hex-bytes pane (and is designed for creating new data to be dissected) but AFAIK there's no way to add frames. (Adding frames would probably be exceptionally hard to do in Wireshark's architecture.)
