Linking issue with the two versions of Wallace's grammars

Lew Worthington

A feature I have never meaningfully used until today is copying a link (URL) to a resource. I was in the 2015 version of Wallace's Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics (info is below:)

and I copied the URL in the context menu so I could drop this in a note (another feature I only started using meaningfully very recently). Then, I decided to click the link I just created and it actually took me to the 2006 version (info is below:)

I know there's a history of discussion about older resources only linking to the older edition which is why I haven't hidden it in my library. But I'm a bit surprised that creating a brand new link to the newer edition also takes me to the old edition. Since I have never really looked into this, is that an expected outcome of copying a link to a resource?

I decided to click the link I just created and it actually took me to the 2006 version (...) I'm a bit surprised that creating a brand new link to the newer edition also takes me to the old edition.

I don't have both to test, but my theory would be that you didn't create a link to the resource, but to the reference (Wallace's Grammar has its own datatype - and I guess this is true for both editions). So the link will take you to the highest prioritized resource with that datatype.
