research side panels in MS Office and Google Docs

This sidebar deck will allow a user to not have to leave LibreOffice interface
in order to do research, which a user would normally turn to their browser for.
It will contain research and reference tools like encyclopedias (e.g.
wikipedia), dictionaries (e.g. wiktionary), thesaurus, translators (e.g. google
translate), etc. The deck can feature both built-in and online services, but
would primarily be for online services.

The sidebar deck should ideally have support to render html content, so webview
control (e.g. WebKitGtk+, MozView) would be needed, as it will allow online
services to provide a suitable webpage that would only need to be displayed in
order to get full search functionality (e.g.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/lookup.htm#searchbox).
