Nope. The columns are set based on the addresses set by SET_ADDRESS, and we do not allow a dissector to prevent another dissector from setting the address (if your dissector were to prevent the IP dissector from setting the address, that would violate assumptions, made by dissectors running atop IP and atop dissectors themselves running atop IP, that they can fetch the source and destination IP addresses for the IP datagram that directly contained them).
