Personal Books question - linked references show 2x when I hover

When linking resources to some personal books I've been bringing over, I'm finding that when I hover over the links the resource is "doubling" (i.e. it shows twice). Two instances are given below. I assume the issue is with my links. Any help is appreciated. 

I am using the "Copy Location as [L4]" from the original resources and pasting as a hyperlink for the selected text in Word.

For the Catechism, this shows as logosres:catcathchrch;ref=CCC.CCC_27-30 

I also tried as logosres:catcathchrch;ref=CCC.27-30, which repeats the same behavior.

A similar double text when I hover occurs when linking a resource like Augustine's Confessions, using the following link:

     logosres:cnfssns;ref=Augustine.Conf._1.1.1

    This often happens when the manuscript text (or label) is recognised as a link, in addition to the L4 hyperlink. What happens if you just type CCC 27-30 without using the L4 hyperlink? One other possible solution is to use more descriptive text to which you attach the hyperlink e.g. Catechism of the Catholic Church 27–30.

    If you change this to logosref:CCC.CCC_27-30, it won't happen any more.

    The reason it happens is because when you specify both a resource (logosres) and a reference (ref), the PB builder will display both a link to that reference in the specific resource, and a link to that reference in your most highly prioritised resource. In your case, both those are identical.

    Very helpful explanation. Thanks on both accounts.
