You can add a ‘span’ tag with an is of “whatever” around the “HI”. Then you can add a click event to the span tag and do whatever you want!

Its a sample text. Suppose user selects "are". Then? – Shubham Mishra Dec 24 '20 at 13:34
Same thing. Do you know html because this seems like a really basic question? – samarmohan Dec 24 '20 at 13:35

I think, you will have to use js for that. Which will be launched on click. In that js script you can find the value of LI which was chosen and do whatever you want.

Or I don't get your question :)
