I used macOS before moving to Linux / Gnome and on macOS it was easy to look up word definitions anywhere. I used to use a gesture on a trackpad but I believe you could do the same by Control-clicking a word as well. Example here:
On Linux, there's Artha and it worked great but it hasn't been updated in a long time and doesn't seem to work any more on Fedora 32 / Gnome 3.36. Current best option seems to be to copy a word and paste it into Gnome Dictionary but that's slower and bit more cumbersome. It would be great to have a Gnome native look up option for students and readers in general as well.
