This is actually a bit amusing, because one of my favorite reading features on iPad is being able to click and hold on an arbitrary word to look it up.

Sure, the UI/UX of a traditional link isn't desirable, but I do want every word to be linkable to the dictionary.

You can copy-paste a word from the website into your search engine too. The website doesn't have to do anything. Just like the program you used on your iPad didn't do anything, it was the iPad providing the select-and-dictionary feature.

Sounds great as a feature of your client, not of every single site.

On the Mac too, you can just "force press" the touchpad on any word and a definition comes up. As a non-native English speaker, I use it quite a lot.

Firefox has an option for this in the right-click menu after selecting text (e.g. by double-clicking).
