No, there's not much in any of the README files about doing GUI development, or about adding hooks to the display filter code so that the GUI code would know that, at some particular point, somebody's expected to type in a value to compare with a particular field, and which field that is, so the GUI code could look up the field and see whether it has a value_string of values.
