I'm not sure having a easy link is necessarily a good thing. The act of typing the characters and opening up the page, especially multiple times (it's rare you'll remember a word after looking it up one time), form a strong anchor in memory. This is the similar effect to having google maps vs. looking up direction before driving on remembering your route.
