Tweaking the Acrobat "Loop Up" function.

Is there anyway to tweak Acrobat's built in lookup function. I just discovered this today that if a right click on a word in my pdf acrobat gives me an option to 'look up' the word on dictionary.com. I was hoping I might be able to redirect the url to my companies website where the user could find definitions for complicated financial terms. Any thoughts on tweaking this or building a custom one?

Re: Tweaking the Acrobat "Loop Up" function.

"Dictionary.com" appears to be hard coded.  I wasn't able to find anywhere it could be set, or any documentation on it.  I also searched the registry to see if it was one of the many undocumented entries, and came up blank. 

Look like it is what it is and nothing more.

oh well - thanks for looking into it.
Do you think that there might be a way to duplicate the functionality with a custom function?
