I already noticed that it was not 100% accurate. But it is good enough. Better 
than the "goto first word in paragraph" as seen in TeXMaker, which use very 
long lines in the .tex file.

Although it's flaky.  E.g., if the word is "the", then the chances are
high there are multiple occurences in a line.  Maybe taking the current
word at click-position + the next N words (and then searching so that
space also matches \n) might work.  But that will fail in situations
where the click-pos is "hello world" but the actual tex text is "hello
\texttt{world}".

If you want, you can play with those suggestions in TeXStudio to see if
it uses such a trick...

Yes.
