Use this field script and it should work, plus a bit of error checking

on mouseup
    set the itemdel to "|"
    get (cr & field "storage")
    put  lineOffset( cr & the clicktext & "|", IT ) into theLineNum
    if theLineNum > 0 then
       put  item 2 to -1 of line theLineNum of IT into fld "display"

       --note item 2 to -1  means item 2 to the last item in the line
       --   the reason is in case the text of the line uses a "|" char
       --   if that is true, then you would not display the entire line
    else
       put "Not found" into fld "display"
    end if
end mouseup
