I am building an os x application in which i want to open text anywhere in the system and my app should search for the corresponding word in the dictionary and show the output.

From the below picture you can see that, i want to my app in that services area just like Todoist and Twitter. And also you can see that it open this sheet, when i select a text and right clicked on it. So what should i do in order to get it.?

Also please tell me , how should i perform an action in application:openurl for this scenario, Thanks in advance.

I think you have to look into using plugins or app extensions to do this. – Jul 01 '15 at 14:14
