@ctop I was responding to what @pazos said about it being conceptually weird that the dictionary is available in both while the calibre metadata search is not.
Going through the file browser may be a mildly undesirable extra one or two steps if you just want the calibre metadata search, but it's not illogical in the way opening a random document to access the dictionary would be. You're going into the interface where you select documents to pick another means of selecting documents.
Think of it in physical terms. You wouldn't grab a random book in order to consult a reference work. But you would walk up to your bookcase to get at your index catalog contained within.
That's not any kind of objection. I'm perfectly happy with someone adding this action to the gesture manager (less sure about the reader menu).
