--- Comment #3 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
I think this is actually quite a cool idea. Unfortunately it would certainly
suffer the same fate as the "What's This" system: lack of universal support
dooming it to failure. There is no universal way for something to read targeted
text in a GUI app. So we could implement support for it, but it wouldn't work
for GNOME apps, or Electron apps, and so on.
Sadly I think this dooms the effort. it's well-meaning, but unfortunately not
implementable given the diverse/fragmented state of the the Linux ecosystem.
