Look-Ups on Epwing dictionaries: How to do them offline?

#1
Hello,

I'm currently facing the following issue:

I have three EPWING dictionaries available on my PC; I have been using a program called "EBWin" to manually look-up words on them at any time; I have integrated them with Rikaisama to "Highlight&LookUp" words in them while browsing the Internet.
I would like to be able to use the (much quicker!) Highlight&LookUp feature offline as well, on my PDF and txt files.

Thus far, I've been unable to do so.
The best I could do was to open PDF files with Firefox, and use Rikaisama once more; however, the Highlight&LookUp feature I so adore becomes much less precise and fluid. (Compared to its use on actual web pages)

Does anybody know any better solutions?

GoldenDict has Rikai-like mouseover support, and EPWING is supported in developer builds.

(If the feature doesn't work, try a different PDF reader. It can be finicky).
