The easiest way would be to change the default search in DQSD to
wikipedia. Do this by editing "localprefs.js" to add this line:
  defaultsearch="wik";

Reload DQSD (!).

Now, instead of 'right-clicking', just highlight the text you want to
search in Wikipedia, and drag and drop it into DQSD. It'll search in
Wikipedia by default from then on.

HOWEVER, this will ALSO set your default search action anytime you
simply type text into the DQSD window to searching Wikipedia unless a
different search is specified. To search google prefix the search text
with "gg":
  gg search text

I hope that works for what you're after.

Regards,
