Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
Welcome to the Forums. The Treasury and lots of cross-references in Bibles is very much a Protestant thing. Catholics tend to juxtapose larger chunks of scripture against each other in order to identify the overall thrust of scripture. Think the readings of the Mass or the associated antiphons or all the readings of the day or Catena style commentaries ... In a strange way I would expect Jewish studies to be closer to the Protestant perspective given their juxtaposition of individual words from unlike contexts. But, no, one can't really add cross-references to your Bible. What I do is use a custom Passage guide containing only the Cross-reference and Important Passages sections.
No, there isn’t! The only work around is adding a note to each verse and write the cross references yourself, but I doubt you or anyone would be willing to do such thing. Your best bet is the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge.

Is there a way to "add" cross-references to a particular Bible translation in the same window that I am reading the Bible, instead of having to have a separate tab open for Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, so I can just simply hover my cursor over any passage and have all the cross-references immediately present?
This doesn't solve your problem, but what I do (MultiBook Display). And the cross-refs 'stick' with the RSVc.
Thank you, this is super-neat! I added Power Lookup and it's now a lot more efficient than my previous process. I notice if I open a duplicate Bible (for sending links), the new panel remains in MBD mode - do you know if there's a way to get around that? I can live with it but it would be great to not have to.
No ... it's one of those 'last used' settings ... unfortunately. Useful, until when not!
Ah well. Thanks for confirming.

Here is what you can do.
1) open up two panels (Bibles).
2) Set up one Bible as the "Send Links Here" version.
3) Set the second Bible up as the "MultiView" Bible with your Cross-Reference resource (TSK? NTSK?).
4) Save the setup as a saved layout.
When ever you want to use this layout just open it up. It "Should" work the way you want it to.
EDIT: Note, you want to have BOTH bibles already open BEFORE you set up one of them as MultiView.
By saving the layout you don't have the "Last Used Setting" memory issue that DMB mentioned.

That was helpful! I'd already saved a layout with my setup, so I removed multiview on both Bibles, enabled it on the one I wanted, and updated the layout. I've gone in and out of the layout multiple times since then and it has held up 👍🏽
A new thing I noticed is that Power Lookup is not working on the references in the second book in the MBD (i.e. the NTSK). Is that normal? I could've sworn it was working last night but maybe I was thinking of the previous layout I was using, which included the NTSK in its own separate panel.
