I tried converting to ePub in Calibre, but the links were broken and the "Lookup a word" option at the start of the dictionary didn't work either?

Is there a way to do this?

Unpack the mobi dictionary (mobiunpack.py). Look at the HTML-like file. Work out how to convert into the your desired source format. Convert it. Compile into your destination format.

I don't think there are any current tools form converting Mobipocket dictionaries into other formats.
