Tkinter Text widget - Use clicked text in event function

I currently have a a log parser that puts user infomration into a Text widget. If a line that is inserted into the Text widget has a keyword the line will be highlighted blue. If that line is clicked i'd like to use the text from that line in the event function that carries out.

Because I am using the config for my tag to color the line blue, am I not able to also copy the clicked text?

Example of the code:

from tkinter import *


def callback(event):
    window = Toplevel()
    window.overrideredirect(1)
    window.geometry("200x100+{0}+{1}".format(event.x_root-1, event.y_root-12))
    label = Label(window, justify="left", text="Username: value \nLocation: value \nAddress: value \nSecurity Level: value")
    label.grid()
    window.bind("<Leave>", lambda e: window.destroy())

root = Tk()
text = Text(root)
text.insert(END, "Click here", "tag")
text.pack()
text.tag_config("tag", foreground="blue")
text.tag_bind("tag", "<Button-1>", callback)

root.mainloop()

How can I take the username that is clicked and use it in the function? I just want to set the username to a variable and use that, im just missing how to do it.

Solution

You can use individual tag for every clicked text and then you can send it as argument to binded function

import tkinter as tk


def callback(event, tag):
    print(event.widget.get('%s.first'%tag, '%s.last'%tag))

root = tk.Tk()

text = tk.Text(root)
text.pack()

text.tag_config("tag1", foreground="blue")
text.tag_bind("tag1", "<Button-1>", lambda e:callback(e, "tag1"))
text.insert('end', "first link", "tag1")

text.insert('end', " other text ")

text.tag_config("tag2", foreground="blue")
text.tag_bind("tag2", "<Button-1>", lambda e:callback(e, "tag2"))
text.insert('end', "second link", "tag2")

root.mainloop()

EDIT:

I found how to convert mouse position and find clicked tag so it doesn't need individual tags.

Python TKinter get clicked tag in text widget

import tkinter as tk


def callback(event):
    # get the index of the mouse click
    index = event.widget.index("@%s,%s" % (event.x, event.y))

    # get the indices of all "tag" tags
    tag_indices = list(event.widget.tag_ranges('tag'))

    # iterate them pairwise (start and end index)
    for start, end in zip(tag_indices[0::2], tag_indices[1::2]):
        # check if the tag matches the mouse click index
        if event.widget.compare(start, '<=', index) and event.widget.compare(index, '<', end):
            # return string between tag start and end
            print(start, end, event.widget.get(start, end))

root = tk.Tk()

text = tk.Text(root)
text.pack()

text.tag_config("tag", foreground="blue")
text.tag_bind("tag", "<Button-1>", callback)

text.insert('end', "first link", "tag")

text.insert('end', " other text ")

text.insert('end', "second link", "tag")

root.mainloop()
