So, in other words, you are implying that these unix platforms do not always, if any, create program shortcuts, am I correct?
Thanks

xfce4-dict
XFCE4-DICT(1) XFCE4-DICT(1)
NAME
xfce4-dict -- a client program to query different dictionaries
SYNOPSIS
xfce4-dict [option] [text ...]
DESCRIPTION
xfce4-dict allows you to search different kinds of dictionary services for words or phrases and shows you the result. Currently you can
query a "Dict" server(RFC 2229), any online dictionary service by opening a web browser or search for words using a spell check program
like aspell, ispell or enchant.
Homepage: http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/applications/xfce4-dict
OPTIONS
If called without any arguments, the xfce4-dict main window is shown. Any passed text argument(s) are used as search text.
-d, --dict
Search the given text using a Dict server(RFC 2229).
-w, --web Search the given text using a web-based search engine.
-t, --text-field
Grab the focus on the text field in the panel (has no effect if panel plugin is not loaded).
-s, --spell
Check the given text with a spellchecker.
-i, --ignore-plugin
Start stand-alone application even if the panel plugin is loaded.
-c, --clipboard
Grabs the PRIMARY selection content (X selection clipboard), uses it as search text and performs a search. This is useful when
you want to create keyboard shortcuts for this command. The search method can be specified with the -d, -w and -s options, if
not specified the default search method is used. If the PRIMARY clipboard doesn't contain any text, the normal clipboard is
used.
-v, --verbose
Be verbose (print useful status messages).
-V, --version
Show version information.
-?, --help
Show help information and exit.
xfce4-dict supports all generic GTK options, a list is available on the help screen.
BUGS
There is a limitation of max. 12 characters in passing a search term to xfce4-dict when the panel plugin is loaded. That is, if you pass a
search term as command line argument(s) to xfce4-dict which is longer than 12 characters, it is truncated. To be exact, the limit is 12
bytes so if the search term contains any non-ASCII characters it might be even less than 12 characters. To work around this limitation,
you can add the command line '-i' so that xfce4-dict will start a single stand-alone application. Then all passed text is used as search
term.
