I was wondering if in addition to the links, we might develop a floating reference bar which can be expanded or shrunk and helps to define items on the screen, without switching to another page or window. The bar would have a quick dictionary section, a thumnail illustration section and a thumbnail geographic section. You would move the mouse across the page you were reading, and if you dwell for some user adjustable time interval on a word, the quick dictionary looks it up and the definition text appears in the reference bar/window. If there is a thumbnail illustration or thumbnail map for it, that appears in a temporary pop-up, then disappears. If you want to look up a phrase you just hold down the shift key and move the mouse across more than one word. If you want a deeper lookup as in wikipedia or some other prefered encyclopedia, you would hold down the alt key for the same selection. There are a lot of ways to expand on this idea. What do you think?

Yeah, those are called monobooks, alot of people already have them. I could copy and paste mine to your userspace if you'd like. karmafist 00:03, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
Ok, it's at User:Johnor/monobook.js. I'm no expert on Javascript, so please ask Lupin if you have any problems. karmafist 01:11, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
