Cool New (?) Feature - IVP Reference Collection

After updating to 4.0b yesterday, I noticed today that a lot of terms in my IVP Bible Background Commentary are now linked to my IVP Pocket Dictionaries. Before this, the only linking of terms was to those in the glossary at the end of the book.  (If this is not a new feature, it's taken me a long time to notice, since I've been using the IVP Bible Background Commentary every day with Logos 4 since beta testing started. Surprise )

In this example, the word "church" is highlighted twice in the text. In power lookup, for the first one the definition from the glossary shows up. For the second one, it's going to my Pocket Dictionary of Theological Terms:

In this one, the word "angel" is highlighted. It's not in the glossary, so the lookup goes to my Pocket Dictionary of Apologetics and Philosophy of Religion:

Before today, a word not in the glossary would not have shown up as highlighted, and if I wanted a definition I would have had to right-click and search, or use the info tool, and it would have defaulted to Merriam-Webster's dictionary. This definitely adds value to the IVP Reference Collection - I'm discovering dictionaries I had forgotten I have.

    The "Pocket" dictionaries were recently re-built for Logos 4. So, I believe this is a new feature that is now available in 4.ob.
