I happen to have written one. All the text on www.balvi.org is rendered
through it. This filter reads texts, uses a database lookup and checks
each word if it's a gismu, lujvo, or cmavo. If so, it turns it into a
javascript link that, when clicked, opens a dictionary window showing the
definition of that word.

But I assume you've all seen this already, since I announced Balvi a month
ago.
