Camino should offer an option to look up any selected word on a web page from the Dictionary.app of OS X Tiger.

This feature is already implemented in Safari, in which the contextual menu (ie the menu get when you cmd+click or right click) has an option to "Look Up in Dictionary" any selected text.

Reproducible: Always

This is not a duplicate of 301451, althogh the requests are related.

This option, with the contextual menu, should actually open Dictionary.app and display the selected word in it.

You're just asking for the standard context menu option?

Julian, is this part of the spellchecking code at all?

Actually, it should either do that or display the floating panel, depending on how the user's pref is set, which means this may well be a dup of the other dictionary bug.

Bug 301451 is about integrating with 10.4 Dictionary in any or all ways possible.  When it comes down to it, everything will need the accessibility work done first, anyway.
