4.0d: Are Hyperlinks to resources stable?

JimTowler

We now have some nice new resource link kinds. Thank you.

However, I notice some of them are very plain and simple, but some are "complex", using the Timeline example below.

My questions, (thinking of links in Notes or on Web sites):

1) Will "complex" links always work for a given user-install?

2) Will they still work between multiple installs for a single user id?

3) Will they work between PC, Mac, iPhone, Web, <newthing1>, <newthing2> over time?

4) Will they always work for other users (that have the resource) if pasted to a web page?

I expect simple links to be very stable, such as:

logosres:niv;ref=Bible.Jn3.16
logosres:esv;ref=BibleESV.Jn3.16
logosres:mounceexpdic;hw=Pentecost
logosres:dblhebr;ref=HebrewGK.HGK132

My first question is ones to headwords in BDAG etc. I'm guessing this is just the Greek word in Unicode or something, so should be ok: logosres:bdag;hw=$CE$BB$CE$BF$CC$81$CE$B3$CE$BF$CF$82

But what about Timelines?

<a target="_blank" href="logosres:$7Ba664ea2d-d387-40fc-9c2d-d8967e5b1e88$7D;art=0">English Bible Versions</a>

A functional web link to the Timeline: English Bible Versions example above.

EDIT: Well, it would be, if this forum supported "logosres:" as a valid format.

We try to make the links as stable as possible. The timeline link is to a resource id, which is very stable.

The only "unstable" links in general are to character positions, and we've built a system that does a good job of recovering if they change. (So that a note won't lose its place and highlight because we update the book to fix a typo and "slide" everything over by inserting some text.)

Thanks Bob.

Your answer is as I had hoped (mostly-to-very stable), but it was the "unreadable" ones that I was wondering about.

I like that I can place links with a Note inside Logos4, or in a Word document on my PC, and can directly re-open back to the same verse, headword, or same page in a book.

[It would be nice to have paragraph-level rather than only page-level for books, however.)
