Is it possible to directly dissect a hex data instead of a packet?

I'm not sure if this even makes sense, but I have a built in dissector inside of wireshark/tshark but I'm not gonna be parsing packets and dissecting it. Instead, I will receive the "data field" in hex format by another process, and I would like to dissect that.

Note: that if this data was part of a UDP payload, wireshark can dissect it
