How to change "look up" reference that is set to dictionary.com in Adobe Acrobat

Is there a way to change the 'Look Up' reference in Adobe Acrobat? Currently, when you select and right-click on a word, 'Look Up' opens the browser and displays the word on 'dictionary.com.' It is so inconvenient to read an article and go back and forth between the browser and Acrobat. Is there a way to change the reference to the Apple macOS dictionary (similar to the 'look up' option on the Mac), which shows all selected dictionaries in a popup window for a given word without using a web browser?

No need to mention that dictionary.com is not a reliable source in academic or scholarly contexts.

saying it's unscholarly is a gross understatement. it is rather a spam site.
