Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] How to make a LUA written dissector appears in the "Decode As" W

Hi,

The "Wireshark: Decode As"  functionality is very usefull in some case when the carrying protocol does not provide a "upper protocol field".
When writing a Dissector in LUA, the newly written dissector is not in the List of protocols.

So if  the carrying protocol does not offer a Dissector Table where I can add the upper LUA protocol, how can we process ?

Thanks-
