Set Dictionary in Canvas tool

Is there any way to control which dictionary is used for the info cards in the Canvas tool? It seems rather arbitrary right now, sometimes favoring the Concise Oxford English Dictionary, or, the NIDOTTE. For my purposes I would prefer to have HALOT or BDAG but I have no idea how to change it within Canvas. They are already prioritized in my library as no. 1 lexicons and work in all other parts of Logos.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    It looks like canvas currently does a dictionary lookup using the surface text. This means for English Bibles it's going to use the English word (not the original language word behind it). For original language Bibles, it's not using the lemma form of the text. This means that the lookup will only be able to find results in certain lexicons that support the inflected forms of the words.

    I've created a case to address this problem.
