No Dictionary Look Up Feature like IOS?

On my iPad, I can long press a word and when the options appear I get one for "Look up."  In a Bible, this usually goes to a lexicon to give me the Greek/Hebrew information, but in other resources it gives me the dictionary definition of the word.

Android has the "info" option, which I believe will give the Greek/Hebrew information in a Bible, but in other resources it just gives me the option to search my library.  It doesn't bring up the dictionary definition.  Is this a feature that is not available to Android?

    Unfortunately at the moment this feature is not available on Android. The Logos iOS apps use a dictionary service that is built into the iOS operating system and there is no easy equivalent on Android. We realize this would be a useful service to provide, but we have not yet decided on the best way to include a dictionary.

    OK, thanks for the reply.  I use that feature on my iPad often.

    After 9 years, has there been a resolution on this?  It seems that implementing the same process that is used on the Kindle version (which accesses my library's Oxford Dictionary) would be the place to start.
