It's not possible to extend an existing protocol (LUA script - Add a new Field in the Default TCP Dissector).

The sample captures on the Wireshark wiki Common Image Generator Interface (CIGI) page don't include any user defined fields.
Is the data available in cigi.data?
You could write a post-dissector (see EASYPOST.lua in the wiki lua examples) and create a new protocol that would show up underneath CIGI in the packet details.
