Something to capture the data stream live

Let’s say I am flying a fixed wing drone with mission planner running on a laptop with an RFD900x. The plane is broadcasting a data stream via the telemetry radio (RFD900x).

I’d like to have a second laptop that is able to capture that data and shunt it to some custom programs that will make plots/graphs/whatever.

How would I go about doing that?

If you were using QGroundControl, enabling MAVLink Forwarding and access the data on a second laptop via Local Network would be the way to go.

I am not sure if it is possible to do this way in Mission Plannner.

mission planner has a mavlink mirror button, under Setup > Advanced > Mavlink Mirror
