If Abby Lingvo has options for 'grabbing' the word under the pointer via a kb or mouse shortcut you could use that.

I have a couple of installed 'dictionaries' (Wordweb and The Sage) that operate this way. They are configured to respond to ctrl+shift+~ and ctrl+shift+! respectively. The advantage of using this approach is that the shortcuts work in ALL applications - browsers, text editors, pdf readers, word processors... and the calibre book viewer
