Hi.
So far I know there are no builtin function gives you this type of functionality, When you double click it will auto select the word by nature. However What I would do for this something like:

(1) When you click on the word, At first I find the position.
(2) Try to find is the previous / next char is space or not.
(3) If both condition is satisfied then highlight it / else
if there is no space at the previous but found after counting few char then highlight it.

I would like to bring your attention the fact that this selection effect would greatly confuse the edition of the document, especially for the users heavily relying on the mouse; even for read-only document this behavior could irritate the user as different from what is usually expected.

Just the note. Be careful.
