How do you have multiple references in a link?

When taking a note in a book of the Bible, I can highlight a part of that note and make it a link/reference to a study Bible or commentary, so that when I hover over the link I see the text that I linked to. I do this by having my resource that I want to link to open and to the part I wish to link (and select the section of text I want to be seen when I hover over the link), then I go to the context menu and select "Copy Location As: URL". Then I past that into the link box for my note. 

Now, my question is, how do I have multiple reference texts show up in the hover box? I know that this is possible as it is done in the ESV Study Bible. If you have this reference go to Acts 21:3 and you will see the following note: "Tyre was in Phoenicia (see note on 11:19)." When you hover your mouse over the '11:19' you see both the note and the verse. This is essentially what I would like to do. In my notes for Acts, there are times that I want to reference both the verse and the note that I am talking about. I will give a for instance. 

In a note for Acts 21:4, I reference 1 Corinthians 14:29. Now, the link that I use for the Bible reference would be: logosres:esv;ref=BibleESV.1Co14.29 and the link for the Study Bible reference would be: logosres:esvsb;ref=BibleESV.1Co14.29. Since this is a URL, I have tried the following to obtain the desired result, and none work:

- logosres:esv;ref=BibleESV.1Co14.29&&logosres:esvsb;ref=BibleESV.1Co14.29

- logosres:esv;ref=BibleESV.1Co14.29&logosres:esvsb;ref=BibleESV.1Co14.29

- logosres:esv;ref=BibleESV.1Co14.29&&esvsb;ref=BibleESV.1Co14.29

- logosres:esv;ref=BibleESV.1Co14.29&esvsb;ref=BibleESV.1Co14.29

I know that it is possible as the team that created the ESV Study Bible reference does it. Is this just not something that is able to be done by the user? Thank you for your help/thoughts on how to do this. I have researched and looked through so many Logos Wikis, I just can't find an answer.

    I'm not sure if this will help you, but you can add multiple attachment points to the same note. If you hover over the attachment point you get the text in the attachment reference

    In the illustration above I can hover over the first attachment point and get the bible text. The second gives me the note in the Bible Knowledge commentary. The third gives me the note in the ESV study bible. Clicking on any will open that resource at the attachment point. In the resource there will be a note indicator that you can hover over and read text of the note.

    Try

      See EVSB 1 Cor 14:29
    And set the ESVB link in "ESVB" but ensure "1 Cor 14:29" is set as a bible link. Hover over each part  to see the appropriate content.
