SUGGESTION: Add label to context menu entry for Journal, Sermon, Personal Letter

When a guide section is based on the presence of a label (journal, personal letter, sermon) it would be helpful to have a label entry on the left side of the context menu when opening the context menu on the title in the guide. This saves the effort of opening the resource to the article/letter/sermon to see the other label attributes.

I'm afraid I don't entirely understand what you mean.

If you have a context menu that is based on a word - the lookup section provides links to it's definition - lexicons or dictionaries. It does pretty much any time it can pick out a single item in a reference resource. However, it does not do it for labels because there are multiple links possible -- one for each label attribute. I want it to at least provide a link to the label documentation so we can pick the attribute we want the definition for. Finding the label documentation is the time consuming step I want Logos to do for me.

My apologies - my mind was completely elsewhere and when it jumped to your question the hyperlink went to an entirely different suggestion and didn't even notice the foreign terrain.

Having scrambled out of the thicket, reoriented myself and hyperlinked to the right topic. What I mean is that there are some guide sections that are dependent on the presence of a label e.g. journal

I would like to Context Menu as shown above to contain the label on the left hand side ...

Now I think I understand your original post, even though the follow up one is beyond me... let me try to put your original post in a different form. Then you can correct any persistent misunderstanding:

When a guide section is based on the presence of a label (journal, personal letter, sermon) it would be helpful to have a label entry on the left side of the context menu when opening the context menu on the title in the guide. This saves the effort of opening the resource to the article/letter/sermon to see the other label attributes.

Right now, right clicking on the title of an article/resource that appears as a result when a Guide is run brings up the Context Menu, which is a good thing. That Context menu does not include any labels that apply to the part of the resource that has generated the hit. Those labels should appear in the Context Menu. Right now, finding out the full list of labels that apply to the part of the resource that has generated the hit requires opening that resource in a new pane, selecting the desired text, and opening a Context Menu, which only then displays the labels. Those extra steps ought to be rendered unnecessary in a future software update.
