Split "Add anchor" into "add selected" and "add reference"

Since I don't read Hebrew, I wanted a quick hover info that shows the transliteration of the names of God so I could get some of the nuance behind the original language.  Since the default note at the bottom of the window doesn't include the transliteration and I haven't memorized the Strong's numbers, I don't know if Lord God meaning Yahweh Elohim or Adonai Yahweh as an example.  I then add more info in the note as needed.

The request is to have two choices for "+add anchor".  Since that's the only item on that line, splitting it into "add selected" and "add reference" (and perhaps "active reference"?) would be more direct.  If you're only adding a few references it's a small matter, but adding dozens, hundreds, or thousands of anchors, that double click quickly becomes a pain.

    An option often used is a visual filter. Here is the Names of God which I just copied from a shared visual filter. Here God is color-coded. One could make a filter with text instead.

    For the note Add Anchor is by selection when selection is selected on the left, and by reference when reference is selected on the left so the distinction you want is already present.

    Very cool feature!  Too bad I've spent hours adding notes. LOL!  Still, I'll look into this.

    There is a reason we tell people new to Logos to ask, ask, ask ... you'll often be given multiple ways to do something and can chose what works best for you.

    Yeah, this software is fantastic because it gives you lots of options, but the learning curve is steep.  The extra work allowed me to see how the many names of God are used, so the work had a good purpose after all.  Thanks again!
