Hello,
I was wondering if it was possible for the dictionary extension to instead open the definition within when inside a browser, rather than inside the dictionary app. For example, in safari, the "lookup" function pops open a small window. This would be really useful as you would be able to see the definition within your browser and not be switched to the dictionary app.

Unfortunately, macOS does not (yet) provide an API for applications to trigger the "Look Up" popup programatically. Therefore, I can't make PopClip do it. However, if it ever becomes possible, it will be a likely update since I get a lot of requests for this.
