Me, not being familiar with Greek or Hebrew how can program Logos to do the following?

In the exegetical guide where it show the tense, voice and mood of a Greek word can I set up a link to take me to a particular book in my library that actually define the specific tense, voice and mood of that verb. i.e where can i find a quick definition of an aorist, middle, imperative---how do I link to a book to define that for me? Hope this makes sense.

    My suggestion would simply be don't do it.  Rather, I would go to a solid commentary written by a scholar that you trust who is familiar with Greek and Hebrew, and let that commentator bring out the significance of the Greek and Hebrew in the passage.

    I think someone not familiar with Greek and Hebrew would make far fewer mistakes that way. 

    Get all the meaning you can through solid English Bible exegesis, then consult a good commentary for what you don't know.

    If you hover over the terms you should get a popup that defines it - clicking on the popup will take you to the book which provides the definition

    Do you see this?

    Thanks so much for your help. I have not yet upgraded to a Logos 6 package. I only have the free Logos 6 upgrade. I do not have the right right data set. I guess there is no other way to do it.

    I think you are correct - as far as I know the resource to support this is only made available with base packages (from Starter and up)
