That's an interesting guess.
Although it's flaky. E.g., if the word is the, then the chances are
high there are multiple occurences in a line. Maybe taking the current
word at click-position + the next N words (and then searching so that
space also matches \n) might work. But that will fail in situations

If you want, you can play with those suggestions in TeXStudio to see if

Mosè, exactly which version of TeXStudio has the feature to direct you to the exact word? I'll like to see that. AFAIK pdfsync only looks at line numbers, thus TeXMaker and TeXStudio usually have a problem in the backwards sync because they tend to use soft line breaks (I think) and not the hard ones Emacs uses. Thus Emacs is usually much more precise.
