Expanding Libre Office with Python

Question

I'd like to expand LibreOffice with my own Python scripts.

I want to right-click on a word and run a Python script that would send its output to a different window (not change the doc I am working at). For example, I would click on an author name, and the script would search in a local DB for further information about him. Or I'd run a script and it would output some encyclopedia result.

How do I expand LibreOffice?

Answer 1

Following Adobe's suggestion, I went to the openoffice forum.

Here is an acceptable answer from there:

Intercept Right Click and cause it to run your Python scrpt, which should be treated as any other macro.
