But if I right click I do get the dictionary option – but it opens up the program itself rather than showing a pop-up with the info.

This doesn’t work for me. That keyshort does nothing.

This also works on Mail, but slidely different: You can use this not for the highlighted word, but for the word under your cursor.

I also tried this successfully in Textmate, Pages, Keynote…
