Hi James, You could use the javascript method window.getSelection to tell when a user has selected some text, grab the location of the mouse onMouseup and drop open a menu. The getSelection function will return an object that you can use to get the text selected. I haven't used anything like this, but i'd imagine there would be a jQuery or Prototype plugin out there which might help you out. Or you could write it yourself.
