[Obsidian] Synonym lookup under right-click menu

[HighPriest]

Description

I love how fast and precise harper is for typical misspellings and dictionary lookups.
I would like to see, as part of UI in Obisidian & under right click, or command, an option to find synonyms & maybe dictionary definitions to selected words, as well.

Component

• Obsidian plugin
• harper.js

Use Cases

When writing, I often end up referring to services like Thesaurus, to find words which match my thoughts, but could be more appropriate for the context. Working with these on-line services, ends up being very tedious. Switching windows, waiting for an online service to respond and fiddling with spelling errors, etc.

It would be nice to be able to use the harper platform for ?optional? integration of a synonyms dictionary and quick lookup.

Implementation Ideas

• Under right-click, add an option to "look-up synonyms".

• Open a modal bubble, or window in side-view, with dictionary definition of selected word & proposed synonyms/antonyms

• Use WordNet database to provide synonyms

Existing Solutions

There are a few solutions based on DataMuse API.

• https://github.com/nqthqn/obsidian-wordy
• https://github.com/danferns/obsidian-wordcraft
• https://github.com/phibr0/obsidian-dictionary

None of them snappy, comfortable to use and most importantly, not offline
