(disclaimer: TextViewer comes from jface so I don't have much experience
using it)

I think you can invoke getControl() on it and cast its result to a
StyledText.  You can then use StyledText.getOffsetAtLocation(Point) to turn
your mouse click's x,y into a text offset.  There isn't a way to turn this
offset into a word directly, but you can sniff the characters to the left
and right of it to determine where the word starts and ends.
