Quick action on word long press?

Hi everyone, just started testing out BookFusion on iOS. It's actually pretty great. I'm wondering, is there a feature allowing to have a quick action when one long presses a word?

I come from Readest and, on that app, there's a toggle for "Enabling quick actions", and one can choose what quick action to use on long press:

  • copy
  • highlight
  • search
  • dictionary
  • translate
  • read out loud

Would definitely be useful to have something similar in BookFusion as it's kind of annoying to have to tap twice to bring up the dictionary which is something I use a lot when reading books in foreign languages.

Also Readest natively supported lots of dictionaries:

  • Wiktionary
  • Wikipedia
  • System Dictionary
  • Google
  • Urban Dictionary
  • Merriam webster
  • Custom URL search

And one could also import dictionaries from files .ifo, .idx, .dict.dz among some other formats. Custom URL search is an option to search on the web trough an URL that automatically replaces the searched word in an URL of choice, that I used for WordReference which is pretty amazing at translations and word definitions + forums/discussions on words and expressions.

Is there anyway of having this in the iOS app?

Thanks!
