More than one Bible translation on one slide

Many years ago people asked for a solution for bilingual churches that wanted more than one translation on a slide (an example: https://community.logos.com/forums/t/114887.aspx). Our church has been hoping for a Korean/English solution like this for years.

I'd imagine that even if churches don't have that issue, that some pastors would want to put several translations up on a single slide. Greek, Hebrew, and English Bibles are all part of Logos, but is it still not possible to add more than one translation in Proclaim without cutting and pasting? Not having to cut and paste and create my own slides was a selling point over Powerpoint.

When the recent update was announced mentioning an "insert passage" button I was sure the problem would be solved. But when I didn't see an option to select translation, I researched the forums and they were all quiet on this topic. I would have gladly paid the increased price for proclaim to have the functionality, but I finally broke down and researched alternatives. And I found the other churches that let these threads go silent. They're using programs like Pro Presenter that already have the functionality to simultaneously use more than one translation and also work with Song Select. 

I just felt weird leaving quietly. Years ago, in an English only context, I changed the whole way I wrote my sermons so that I could easily make slides in Proclaim. But individually creating every single slide each week has me questioning why. I am hoping I have just somehow overlooked the answer to this problem somewhere in some forum. Is this really still not a function?
