Some PDF features for students
I agree. Being a student myself, I simply miss many of the great features Microsoft Edge legacy has. The inline dictionary is a great feature.
The option to open selected text in immersive reader for PDF files is also missing, as you stated. I really wish Microsoft would add it to the new Edge.
It is a good thing that Microsoft has brought inking features for PDF files to the new Edge. However, the ability to ink on webpages is still missing.
So let's hope Microsoft looks into this matter.
Meanwhile, you should try this extension at the Microsoft Edge Addons Store:

This extension does the exact same thing. It requires an internet connection, though. Here's a screenshot of it working on my PC:-

Thanks for sharing the extension with us, I'm using now Google Dictionary, though it lacks a lot of features such as phonetic transcription and many other features...
I think Microsoft can do something better than these extensions. So, we have to wait until they reveal their plans for it.
Yeah I have used Google Dictionary and it works similarly. As you said, Microsoft can do much better than these extensions. I hope they officially reply to this conversation soon. Let's see.
