[New Feature/UX Issue] "Partially" collapse results from all dictionaries in scan popup

[shahrokh-bahtooei]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I need to use various dictionaries simultaneously for a new word—to use the bests of each dictionary. Although navigating through definitions given by different dictionaries is easy & straight-forward in the main window via clicking over the toolbox Found in Dictionaries:, it's not even possible to navigate in scan popup… In popup, all I can do is to scroll through the whole definitions provided by my primary dictionaries to be able to reach the ones my next dictionaries offer.

Good user experience in main window:

Inefficient user experience in scan popup:

I think these icons would be used so frequently if they served the navigation purpose, not enabling/disabling actions which could have been done easily enough just in main window. Now that the user has to scroll down through the extensive definitions to read just as desired from each dictionary, there is no summary definition for each dictionary either… The definitions for each dictionary are either collapsed completely (0) or expanded totally (1). There's no state in between…

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be enormously helpful if dictionary sections were partially collapsed to show data limited to a definite number of characters, words, or lines in scan popup… That way, the user could scroll easily to the bottom and expand as required.

This is how it's done by look-up in macOS Dictionary.app:

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternatively, dictionary icons only in scan popup can be reevaluated and redesigned to be used for navigation, instead of infrequently enabling or disabling certain dictionaries.

Additional context
It will be even more handy if both approaches are adopted.
