Rewrite (& expand) – previous translation wrong
* “can't see the forest for the trees” means “can’t see big picture b/c of details” – this means instead “can’t see *close at hand*”
BTW, this is clearly about the (traditional oil) lamp pole (as daijr states), not lighthouse (mistranslation) – lamp pole obviously of more antiquity, more familiar, and has a visible shadow at its base.
“it is darkest under the lamp post” is reasonably idiomatic in English (here meaning “house lamp” or “street lamp”), so lead with that

Again, we have entries for both できる and としたら, which can be used after any verb.  No dictionary reference, and I don't see anything that makes this combo special.  Could perhaps warrant an entry as a conjunction meaning "if possible", but that's only part of much broader standard usage.

It gets a mass of Google hits. I guess that the meaning of the expression is invariably context based; especially starting off a statement. It was in the text which I was reading as an opening statemeent followed by "、" then the statement continued with a suggested action.

I do not see it used with kanji. The "できる[出来る]" is not usually kanji based, as far as I can see.

One can, of course, add up the parts and make sense of the expression, but as is often the case, such an expression gathers its own shorter meaning which is understood by the natural user in context.

I recognize the value of your earlier comment, namely: "I think you've over-analyzed it, and the revised gloss gets away from what it really is." Indeed, that is the real problem of the novice who is trying to learn, we often miss the sense of simplicity. That is the great value of your many entries on such topics, it brings the over-thinking novice back down to earth.

Yes, I don't believe it should be an entry.

I believe what you're looking for are these:
物【もん】(3) (uk) used to express emotional involvement
な(1) (sentence end, mainly masc.) indicates emotion or emphasis
So, it's just saying "this is terrible/awful/harsh/cruel" (whatever 酷い sense/gloss is appropriate to the context), with もん and な adding feeling/emphasis.

I am not quite sure about how to tackle this one. The above is the reading from the text. It gets a good measure of Google hits.

In a sense what I am looking for in your dictionary is something similar to the entry for:-

め 《奴》 (suf) (1) (uk) derogatory suffix (referring to others) (e.g. "damn; damned fool"); (2) humble suffix (referring to oneself)

This gives a specific meaning for a sentence-ending suffix where a sound is used, which at first thought may be related to "目". However, your site removes the doubt. For example in a text which may read, "ガツガツ食いしん"ぼうめ," one gets the right meaning from searching your site, i.e., ending up with the derogatory nature intended as apposed to thinking about some form counter or the like.

Now, with regard to this submission, if there were an entry for "もん" as a suffix in much the same way as "め"　one could reach a conclusion related to "ひどい"　or whatever else preceded "もん". If the entry also requires "な" to make sense, then that could be added. However, the only entry which one has which may fit as a clue is:-

問 【もん】 (suf,ctr) counter for questions; (P)

However, we are not looking for a counter, but the concept of a question may fit the bill.

If one goes to your combined dictionary one gets the following:-

ひどいもんだ I ask you; WI1

Now one is wondering. What originally seemed like a text with a questioning ending, now seems that it could have idiomatic concepts which are not easy to find. Maybe, by including the simple questioning meaning for the sentence ending suffix "もん" you could resolve this doubting.

This can join うわ； うわー； うわあ

It was in the text which I was reading and any similar sound to the above would fit the context. Your [A] link gives a good range of sounds. Goole gives a good number of hits.

Your combined dictionay originally gave:-

ウワッ (n) aak; eep; WI1

However, I do not know if there is merit is using "ウワッ" in any way. "うわっ" seems the norm.

In part of speech, I tried using [int] and [exp], but it was not accepted.

I'll add that and let it go for now.

+<gloss>showcasing examples (e.g. company products)</gloss>

i'm not sure, but i think this has broader usage than 'case study'.  to me, it also appears to be used in showcasing examples of a company's products, etc.  is it really much different than the obvious literal translation of 'presenting examples'?

"Case Study" is the best word to describe the Japanese phrase.

If you're like me, your first thought upon reading 'finger Braille' is "Isn't this redundant?  Doesn't all Braille use the fingers"?

Not entirely sure if a [euph] tag is appropriate, but I think it helps distinguish this word from 自殺

Common colloquial term; literal translation given b/c it’s being used metaphorically (eels are long and narrow).

Seems it's used in one sentence - sense 2.
