  1. in Marvin, press "EPUB book settings"
  2. in the "Text Selection Menu" section, press "Custom commands"
  3. press the "+" button at the bottom of the screen
  4. press "Get started with a preset..." at the bottom of the pop-up window
  5. random example: scroll down and press "Search in IMDb app (if installed)"
  6. now, you can see the URL scheme used by the IMDb app, and the Marvin command that employs the URL scheme: imdb:///find?q={text}
  7. all you need to do now is to replace the imdb part in that command with the URL scheme of your favourite dictionary app. Sometimes you can just guess the URL scheme, but if not, you can write to the customer support of that app and ask them if they offer a URL scheme, and what it is.
