Searching on labels that are not in the Context menu

The Information panel reveals numerous tags and labels that are not available in the Context menu. Many of these do not include a hyperlink to a definition or a search.

How can I conduct a search on these labels? This screenshot show some of the Figures of Speech that are listed in the Information panel when I click on the word ""weighed" in Isaiah 1:4. None of these show up in the Context menu, so I cannot search on them. I don't mind that the Context menu does not show all of the tags and labels, but there ought to be a way to select one of these from the Information Window to conduct a search as well as to look up the definition. How can I search on these labels?

Logos expects you to have a photographic memory - at least with respect to where to find the documentations and search formats.

Bullinger’s Figures of Speech

This dataset ships a bundle of Figure of Speech labels that mirror information found in Figures of Speech Used in the Bible by E. W. Bullinger. If (and only if) a verse is mentioned in Bullinger’s discussion of a figure of speech, that verse is labeled with that figure of speech. Each label supports:

• Name ~ "..." — Where the title name of the figure appears. (E.g. “Zeugma” or “Aposiopesis”)
• Description ~ "..." — Is the short gloss for the figure. (E.g. “Unequal Yoke” or “Sudden-Silence”)

For example:

• {Label Figure of Speech WHERE Name ~ "Ellipsis"}

I have tracked almost all of them down but made no progress with FL re:single source documentation.

Some attempts to have the problem addressed:

They should all be there. They are likely not visible because the list of labels in the context menu is collapsed. Look for the label icon in the context menu and click the arrow to expand the list. Note that the group isn't given a special title. Instead, it just shows the first label in the group, which may not be a Figure of Speech.

I see that they are hidden. I am not sure I understand why they group some of them the way they do. I don't get why the figures of speech don't have their own group in the Context menu rather than under Cantillation.

I also would like to request that the various items of information in the Information panel be active links to a definition. This would help with these many figures of speech. I also would like to request that they be searchable from within the Information panel. Some are active links but others are not.

Consistency would be helpful and would make these rather obscure categories more useful. It is great data -- I just hate to see such valuable data hidden away so they are less often used. This undoubtedly represents thousands of person-hours of labor.

All labels are in the same group - Cantillation was simply the first alphabetically in this case. There are several items that are grouped; they use the standard triangle (arrowhead) to indicate that they expand. The lookup function takes you to definitions in many but not all cases - an issue I've raised with Bradley.
