For example, I configure by using Ctrl + Right Mouse to look up word.
I checked Load sentences to allow the add-on to load sentences related to the word (if any)
I checked Load sentence sound to allow the add-on to load sound of sentence related to the word (if any)
I checked Load sentence image to allow the add-on to load image of sentence related to the word (if any)
Click OK to finish.

6. OK, it's time to use it.
Open any web page, for example iKnow! website: www.iknow.co.jp

Press Ctrl button and click Right Mouse at the same time on the word you would like to look up.
For example, I press Ctrl + Right Mouse on the word spread, this screen will appear:

This add-on is quite simple at the moment, I'll try to upgrade it later.
