Help with workflows

I'm interested in making a workflow that can open specific resources using the reference put into the input box when starting the workflow. For example, I'd love to be able to have one of the steps be to check Carson and Beale's Commentary on the NT use of the OT. I can put in a link to that book (by copying the location using the three-dot menu for the reference, and then using that as a link) but it will be tagged to whatever location I had in the shortcut rather than the target for the workflow.

I can also copy searches. For example:

https://ref.ly/logos4/Search?kind=BasicSearch&q=John+3:16&match=nostem&in=raw:Collection|CollectionName=Tag%3dSermons%7cTitle%3dSermons

searches references I've tagged with "Sermons" for John 3:16. It's just always John 3:16. If I could grab the content of the workflow input box and somehow use that in my own searches, it would be extremely helpful. It would then be easier to specifically get what I'm after.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Thanks MJ - by "bump 6" are you helping the post stay current? I guess I'm not familiar with that terminology!

Yes, bumping keeps the post current. The 6 is simply to make it past the spam detector.

Since no one has provided an answer and I haven't tried to solve the problem, have you played with opening to an inline search or using a multiview window?

The only way I can think of to get the Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament into the work flow so it will move with the workflow text is to prioritize the Commentary on the New Testament use of the Old Testament with your other prioritized commentaries in your library so it would show up in the commentary step of your workflow. I'm hoping there is a better way that someone else comes along with.
