Help with Greek resources in the Information Window

I am a new user to Logos 6, and am frustrated by one aspect. In Logos 5, I used to be able to display Strong's Enhanced Lexicon in the Information window when I hovered over a Greek word, but when I double-clicked a word in the Greek text, it would appear in BDAG, which I always have open. In Logos 6, however, both the Information window and double-clicking jumps to the the highest prioritized Greek resource.

Is it possible to configure my preferences in Logos 6 so that hovering over a Greek word displays Strong's lexicon in the Information window, but double-clicking the word opens the word in BDAG?

Thanks for any help with this.

    If you hover your mouse at the top of the Definition section you get a Settings option, click that and you get a dropdown menu

    That enables you to choose which resource to get a definition from as shown

    Clicking the "Brief" allows you to choose between Brief, Entire and Gloss

    Does this give you what you need?

    Thanks Graham, but this isn't quite what I am trying to do. I understand that I can change the resource that displays in the Information window as you describe. What I'd like to do is to have one lexicon displayed in the information window when I hover over a Greek word, but a different lexicon open when I double click on that word. It seems that in Logos 6 whatever resource I prioritize in the Information window also applies when I double click a Greek word in the Greek NT.

    I appreciate your suggestion!

    I'm sorry I don't quite understand

    Do you mean a different lexicon open in the Information Window or in a separate panel?

    As above, you can set a specific lexicon to open in the Information window. Double-clicking a word will open your highest prioritized lexicon which has a reference to that word

    So I don't quite understand what you are trying to do. Can you clarify a bit further?
