Is there a way to use this to look up synonyms given a particular word. I have in mind doing this from inside of code---not from the context menu.

What I have tried:

I tried looking for this functionality but it wasn't clear to me what the command is. Not an expert with C#--learning as I go.

If you mean an English word synonym:

Synonyms for synonym
noun: 
    analogue
    equivalent
    metonym
equivalence:
    adequation
    agreement
    alikeness
    compatibility
    conformity
    correlation
    correspondence
    equality
    evenness
    exchangeability
    identity
    interchangeability
    interchangeableness
    likeness
    match
    par
    parallel
    parity
    synonym
    synonymy

Then there is no "standard functionality" for that - you will have to find a suitable webservice, API, or website and get the information from there.
