Methods, systems, and techniques for automatically providing auxiliary content are provided. Example embodiments provide a Gesture Based Navigation System (GBNS), which enables a gesture-based user interface to navigate to auxiliary content that is related to an portion of electronic input that has been indicated by a received gesture. In overview, the GBNS allows a portion (e.g., an area, part, or the like) of electronically presented content to be dynamically indicated by a gesture. The GBNS then examines the indicated portion in conjunction with a set of (e.g., one or more) factors to determine auxiliary content to navigate to. Auxiliary content may be in many forms, including, for example, a web page, code, document, or the like. Once the auxiliary content is determined, it is then presented to the user, for example, using a separate panel, an overlay, or in any other fashion.
