I had not realized that either. After all the complaining on the forum, you think the people at Logos would have made a bigger deal of it in the release notes. Or was it there (in the release notes), and I just didn't realize that was what they were referring to?

Let me guess... you actually have been using Logos as a study tool, rather than a toy. [:P] I couldn't resist!
Edited below:
I forget which release it came out but what I noticed a couple weeks ago was the ability to simply place the location of the file and Logos automatically converts it over to the proper protocol.
I sure wish we could drag files right into the hyperlink space....or better, into the exact location in the note and have a hyperlink created!

I haven't been under a rock (I don't think) and I missed it too! I just looked at the recent release notes and it appears that this fix wasn't announced (or perhaps they fixed it by accident?)

Well, if it happened by accident, then let's pray for more accidents (of this sort)!

I missed it, too. So now I have to go try it.

Don't have time for a screen shot, and though I know someone else will I will simply describe it. This assumes you are running the current Beta.
Open a note file and open a resource you want to put a link to in the note file. With the Resource open to the location you want to link to hit the context menu (little down arrow in the upper left of resource pane, go to the bottom of the menu and select "URL" after the "copy as". Once you have set this as your copy option all you need to do is press CTL + Alt + C to copy it to the clipboard next time. Now go over to your not file, type some text. Highlight one of the words in the text. Place your cursor in the "Hyperlink" box on the panel's toolbar and hit CTL + V. Now the text you highlighted is hyperlinked to the resource location you selected.

Carey,
Be sure 'Copy Location as' is set to URL in the resource you want to link to (it the default so you are probably already set):
Navigate to the place in the resource you want to link to and hit Ctrl+Alt+C.
Open the Note file and type in the text you want to turn into a hyperlink: here I've typed 'OTSS: Exodus 1-4'. Now highlight that text and put your cursor in the hyperlink box and hit Ctrl V. Hit Enter. When you click away from the note you just made you'll see that the text has changed colors to blue text and you can click on it while holding down the Ctrl key to jump to that hyperlink spot.

How can I use the hyperlink? I could make a word in the note highlighted. When I click left botton on the word, the hyperlink box is populated with the link information. What do we do with the information? Can we use the information to copy the resource into a document or another note? Or can we jump to the resource with the hyperlink information?

The answer was given while I was typing my question. Thank you.

now that it's hyperlinked you can Ctrl+Click and it'll take you to that resource (and the location that you linked)

If I understood, this function is still tied up in a beta release?

Correct. It still does not work on the current 4.0b release.

The precedent between L3 and L4 depends upon the order of loading. Do a search on the forums on modifying your registry and follow the instructions.

wiki.logos.com/hyperlinks has instructions for modifying your registry to make the libronixdls protocol point towards Logos 4.

Does it actually open the specific resource? (even if it is a Bible which is not your preferred Bible)
The specific link I created and tested (to a non-bible resource) worked just fine.

thanks
EDIT: From the wiki -
To fix this manually open Registry Editor, navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\libronixdls\shell\open\command,
and change the (Default) value to:"C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Logos4\Logos4.exe" %1I don't appear to have the folder 'libronixdls' I do have L3 installed. Forgive my ignorance

As far as the limited testing I've done, yes.
steve clark said:Does it actually open the specific resource?
Since you create a link from a specific resource, yes. Note that creating a hyperlink isn't the same thing as adding a note to a Bible or another resource. One noticeable difference is that no little yellow square appears next to the text you created the hyperlink to as happens when you add a note to a resource.

Funny, I thought we made sure we mentioned this in the last release notes ... look at that we kind of did.
For Rich Text Editor:
- Backspace at the end of a hyperlink will delete the hyperlink.
- When pasting, the entire chunk of text is searched for auto-detect hyperlinks.
- Cursor no longer jumps to random locations in the document after paste.
- When the rich text editor loses focus (e.g. tab between title and content in note) auto detect will run on the last word the cursor was adjacent to.
- Images and other unsupported content are removed on paste.
- Hyperlink auto-detection will now work across multiple text element runs, that is the string “Gen 1” with a bold ‘e’ will be auto detected.
- Ctrl-Z in a newly opened note will not remove the note content.
- Fixed several app crashes induced by pasting specific content into the notes rich text editor
- Hyperlinks will be preserved when copy/pasted within the rich text editor.
Really we do try to listen to you guys. You can thank Scott Alexander for doing the hard work of making the editor better. There should be a few more fixes in the next few releases too.

Try this location: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Classes\libronixdls\shell\open\command, I don't understand why but sometimes the registry key is in different places in the registry. If it isn't there run a search on your registry for Libronixdls until you find the folder(s) with the appropriate key.

Found the right folder and changed the data according to the wiki but still couldn't get it to work. Deleted L3, now have no libronixdls folder in my registry editor but hyperlinking still doesn't work?
This is definitely something that will need to be fixed for the official releases of 4.0c.

The hyperlink protocol is something that is interpreted by Windows which then sends the information to the program. Uninstalling Libronix probably removed the Libronixdls protocol from your computer thus making the hyperlinks unintelligible to Windows. Did you run the find tool to look for other occurrences of the \libronixdls\shell\open\command?
I can only recommend re-installing Libronix and then looking through each occurrence of libronixdls. Some people have gotten it to work without including the "" around the path to the Logos 4 exe.
This is an issue with two programs making changes to this registry key. It appears that Logos 4 doesn't modify the key after initial installation where as Libronix may check it when it updates.

I did have a look for other occurrences of the folder and right path. Tried it with and without the "". It puzzles me that L4 needs L3 though. So L4 hasn't the ability to hyperlink on its own yet. And changing the registry key isn't so much a case of re prioritizing hyper linking t oL4, but L4 actually borrows the ability from L3?
I'll wait around a bit and see if an upcoming release enables hyperlinking without the use of L3
