When we right-click on any selected text (or tap with three fingers), a
popover view shows up, displaying info about the text selected (a
dictionary definition, a wikipedia article).
This function has been available on OS X since Lion.
Is it possible to add my own "widget/button/tab" to this popover somehow?
Even using an undocumented way? There should be... OS X does it somehow.
And if not... Is it possible to somehow grab the currently selected text,
like the Look up menu context item does? It doesn't seem to be using a
Service (from the Services menu).
Thank you for any suggestions!
