Adding a new "link" function

Opened this issue · 9 comments

I think that maybe it is convenient for users to have a "link" button to get the knowledge about the word in database. I suggest to add the "link" function in the right click of the word as shown in below graph.

to get the knowledge about the word in database

what database? please elaborate.

Sorry, I mean the knowledge about the word on the editor.

what kind of the knowledge you want to know?

I think provide the meaning of the word maybe will be a good idea.

But neither chewing-editor nor chewing provides a database for the meaning of words.

In my opinion, I think chewing-editor can give a link to website like wiki so chewing-editor doesn't need to maintain a database of word's meaning.

Maybe link to 萌典 is a good idea.
But not all of these phrases in the list having meaning on dictionary.
IMO, this feature is cool but not necessary in chewing-editor.
@Chocobo1 how do you think?
