I can imagine a reader software that displays ePub documents and looks up selected words in a mobi dictionary - or in a database or in a ridiculously large txt file. No solution needs any changes to the current ePub format.
I really don't get, why an ePub reader needs a dictionary in an ePub format. As if the hyphenation information for MS Word has to be in DOC-Format, or the spell checker of an email client actually gets its word list out of an email. I assume that CorelDraw has spell checking. Where is this information stored? In a vector image?
