Question

I want to have words inside a Jlabel text that are clickable, and I want to register a MouseListener for each word or getting the clicked word (otherwise). The image below demonstrate what I want. Is this possible ?!

No, you can only make the whole JLabel clickable. But you can put several JLabels next to each other of course, making only a few clickable (and different in appearance).

You could also use HTML, e.g. in a JEditorPane, and make certain words clickable via HTML, if that suits your needs. I found something about that here, and this is how it could look like for you:

JEditorPane jep = new JEditorPane("text/html", "Click <a href='pdf'>here</a> to display a PDF file. For more information click <a href='info'>here</a>.");
jep.setEditable(false);
jep.setOpaque(false);
jep.addHyperlinkListener(new HyperlinkListener() {
  public void hyperlinkUpdate(HyperlinkEvent hle) {
    if (HyperlinkEvent.EventType.ACTIVATED.equals(hle.getEventType())) {
      if (hle.getDescription().equalsIgnoreCase("pdf")) {
        // display PDF
      } else if (hle.getDescription().equalsIgnoreCase("info")) {
        // display information
      }
    }
  }
});
