Personally I'd just have the 'difficult words' document open on the
screen and the browser. Then just double click the word you want to
keep which will copy it to the clipboard, then move the mouse over the
note/document and middle click the mouse to paste. Go back to the
browser, double click the url and then back to the document and middle
click again to paste.

I'd think you'd get quite quick at that after a while.

Cheers,
Al.
