Well, if you are referring to the Services sub-menu that is
automatically part of Cocoa applications' menus with the same name as
the application (Eg: Mail -> Services, Safari -> Services, etc.), it
seems to me that those services are only executed when invoked by the
user. However, I want my application to be able to react to just the
mouse pointer moving over a word.

Let me clarify that it doesn't seem to be the Dictionary

the OS itself or some daemon, perhaps, when Ctrl-Option-D is
pressed. It might be the process called DictionaryPanel that seems
to always be running.
Anyway, if anyone can point me to the appropriate functions/methods/
classes that might be involved in doing such a thing w/o the
aforementioned techniques, please let me know.
Maybe you're looking for services? They're right in the application
menu. They can do a lot of very nifty things, unfortunately they're
very under-appreciated since they got moved one level down...
