I'd need some clarification at this stage. Please describe what you want to do. Searching local glossaries? Databases? Online glossaries, etc.

My ideal case is to automatically show a list of all words/phrases, along with their definitions on some part of the screen (taking up half of the screen is fine). I can see advanced features here like limiting the words to only a certain vocabularyly level (could be based on the Kanji used or some other heuristic), or making certain words be filtered out.
If that is not possible, I simply want to be able to highlight a simple word and have that looked up in the same fashion.
My flow now is:
1) Highlight word
2) right click
3) cut and paste
4) switch to a tab with dictionary.goo.ne.jp
5) paste
6) click button to lookup
7) switch back to my translation document
I want to minimize the steps and time in the above process which occurs frequently.
