In MS Word, you can use the "translate" or "look up" feature to look up meanings of words (in Japanese). It is the case that this uses an online look-up as opposed to a built-in dictionary however. I'm not aware of an equivalent feature in Libre Office.
I always assumed that this was due to the fact Open/Libre Office was an open source application and that the lack of a "loo-up" dictionary was due to licensing issues. (probably not).
As for clearly identifying words, its certainly practically impossible to automatically identify a word in Japanese (no spaces) but it's always possible to identify it by selecting it.
The current problem w/ KT firmware 2.0 is that its almost impossible to select a single character by drag-selecting it. Its a significant issue but the fact that KT2.0 now has a built-in dictionary is a giant step in the right direction.
