I'm trying to call a service which takes the selection as the input. However, I'm not able to send the input to it directly since it is a 3rd-party Service and no open API found. I know how to bring selected text into a workflow. But what I need is the reverse process. Is that possible to manipulate the selection?

Welcome @tab,

 

Best you can do with your proposed restrictions is the Dictionary Filter Input.

Thanks! It hides deeply. I didn't know the Dictionary Filter until you told me.

I'd like to integrate Alfred with a 3rd-party dictionary app. Is there any possible way that I can use the result of Alfred's built-in dictionary suggestion feature? I didn't see how Alfred implemented this since they do not expose built-in features.

Or any other's work I can use? I don't want to do it from scratch by figure out how to deal with Apple's Dictionary Services.
