Switching Lexicons through BWS hyperlinks

Is it possible to set up my lexicons so that when clicking on a lexicon's hyperlink from BWS it replaces my current lexicon rather than opening up a new tab?

For example, I have BDAG opened from BWS. I would like to click on Louw-Nida and have it replace BDAG, not have both resources open at the same time.

Suggestions, or not possible?

    I haven't tried, but conceivably a multiview panel might work (pre-inserting a stack of lexicons)?  I just keep a series of lexicons in a tabbed panel and linked. Doesn't slow the app down; speeds retrieval.

    Hi Morgan,

    You cannot do this through the BWS links. However, the right and left arrows will change resources based on prioritization and/or you can use the parallel resources drop down as shown below on the right.

    I don't think it's possible. What you could do instead is use the parallel resources icon on the first lexicon that you open from the BWS. This will open the next lexicon in the same tab and the same entry.

    I think Logos has just made me a bit lazy. I love not having to turn physical pages to hunt down a word but complain that I have to click more than one button to open a parallel resource or move my hand from mouse to keyboard.

    I've gone with DMB's solution in just having all of my prioritized Lexicon's open in a single pane and it works just fine!

    Thank you all for your suggestions!
