Is it possible to attach a dissector to custom options in pcapng

We have a custom protocol for which we have developed a lua based dissector. But at the time of packet capture, we also need to capture some OOB data and were considering using the custom options capability in pcapng. However, it is not clear to me if we can attach a custom dissector to an option block of the Enhanced Packet Block. Specifically, would this be possible using lua dissectors. Any pointers would be appreciated.
