Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Selecting a word should provide an option to search the dictionary for the word's meaning.

Why would this be helpful?

When reading, it is convenient to have quick access to a dictionary. For example, in Moon Reader, I can select a word and open the dictionary meaning for it.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

MoonReader has a pretty nice interface for doing this.
