I am not thinking hard about this, so if I am way off, someone will correct
me. :P
Seems to me you would have to place just about every word (or, at least,
those you care about) in a span tag and connect to the onmouseover event or
onclick event of that span and then your handler could use scrapeText() to
get the value out.
connect(oneOfTheSpans, "onclick", function(eventArgs) {
var textClickedOn = scrapeText(eventArgs.src());
});
I don't know, there is probably some much better way of doing this, but I
thought I would at least respond.
