Let me clarify that it doesn't seem to be the Dictionary application that's reading the word at the mouse pointer but rather the OS itself or some daemon, perhaps, when Ctrl-Option-D is pressed. It might be the process called DictionaryPanel that seems to always be running.

Anyway, if anyone can point me to the appropriate functions/methods/ classes that might be involved in doing such a thing w/o the aforementioned techniques, please let me know.

Maybe you're looking for services? They're right in the application menu. They can do a lot of very nifty things, unfortunately they're very under-appreciated since they got moved one level down...
