How is the Wireshark Session Feature Implemented?

The Wireshark session feature, which involves statistics and conversations, allows selecting a specific conversation as a filter. Does this simply reparse the conversation's IP address and port as filter criteria for Wireshark to display, or does it parse packet data when opening a pcap file, add the parsed information to the saved session, and directly display each packet's information within the selected conversation when the session feature is invoked?

There are several places in the Wireshark gui to look at "stream" data.
Is this what you mean by "session"?
