How to turn words into app buttons inside of text display field?

I have a book sharing app where I allow users to create profiles for their characters in each book they publish.

What I’d like to achieve is the app to find characters by their pre-defined names (Steven, Ann etc.) in the chapter text display that users read, make those words bold inside the text display element and make them interactable, so they come with hover action, open popups when clicked with character’s profiles etc.

I assume there has to be multiple ways to achieve this, and I am open for all ideas.

Thanks in advance!

Hey @peterfwriter I’ve a plugin for a language learning app that does just that (based on words in the DB).

Let me know if you’d like a license and maybe we can work in your feedback.
