Hello developers,

In Firefox I use an extension which enables me to "Dictionary search" and
Firefox itself has a built in option to "Web search".

These are available as right-click menu options when highlighting word/s and
then right-clicking.

I use these extensively and when in writer I regularly find myself selecting
words and then copying these words to Firefox to search either the web or the
web dictionary (user definable preference).

Instead of me selection words and heading over to Firefox, it would be great if
I could do it there and then from writer.

So I'm envisaging that writer provide a facility whereby I could add “self
configurable right-click menu options” whereby I could state the program to be
invoked as well as the arguments to be passed. Should this be available I could
add my browser of preference being Firefox and the arguments, being the URL I'd
want the stated program (browser) to navigate to, then if writer could populate
the argument variable with the words I selected when right-clicking, then viola
I'm searching the web or the web dictionary or web Thesaurus from within writer.

Please would you give this request serious consideration?

Kind regards
Emmanuel
