    My guess is that this is an old resource that was released before any version of the Talmud was released in Logos, and no one ever went back and added the links.  You could right click on the missing links and use the "report typo" feature.  That would get it on Logos' radar.  They do go back and add links like this from time to time, but it depends on the popularity of the resource.  

    I wish there was a way to create links for every cited reference so that if the resource ever became available, the link could simply be "turned on," as opposed to going back through and finding all of the links.

    Thanks for the tip Joseph.

    That's a good idea. I usually report typo's when I see them; it didn't occur to me to do this for the missing link stuff.

    The Stern commentary was a sale item a few months back so I think it probably gets some decent traction.

    I'm sure they must have some tool they run that autogenerates most of this links then a person goes through and tweaks things.

    It would be good if they could just rerun that tool to pick up any extras.
