Hi Tim, There was a similar discussion a few months back regarding the spell checking ability built into an OS, specifically OSX. The outcome of that was simply that LC doesn't provide a way to hook into it so I think the answer to your question would be the same.
There is a third party spell checker application available on the RunRev store but I don;t remember seeing anything for the feature you mentioned.
