That sounds cute, but how would it deal with the fact the inline word might be
"examples" when the word you'd want to look up in wiktionary would be
"example", etc.

If you really want to encourage wikipedians to use wiktionary, how about simply
adding a wiktionary search box next to/under the wikipedia one?
