How do I re-write a refly link so that it points to the reference, not the resource?

Mark Barnes

With the old-style L4 links, it's trivial to rewrite a link so that it points to the reference, not the specific resource. (With the advantage that it will now open the most highly-prioritised resource, and work for other people even if they don't have the specific resource you used.)

But I'm struggling to do the same with ref.ly links.

So, to give an example, I can easily change logosres:plut078loebeng;ref=Plutarchus.Plut.,_Conjug._19 to logosref:Plutarchus.Plut.,_Conjug._19

But how do I change https://ref.ly/logosres/plut078loebeng?ref=Plutarchus.Plut.%2c+Conjug.+19?

Hmm, I can't think of an easy way to do this. (Easy manipulation by hand was not a goal of the most recent ref.ly URL change.)

The long way would be to Copy Location As L4, strip off "logosres:RESOURCE;ref=", then prepend "https://ref.ly/logosref/".

Thanks for this suggestion.

Given that it isn't straightforward, would this be a good time to suggest adding an additional format for logosref? It's a really useful link.

Also, is there any reason why ref.ly links bring up app.logos.com nowadays? It's slows everything down, and it's not what I want.
