Passage Guide Lock Button

When I open a pericope to begin sermon prep, I also like to have a passage guide/exegetical guide open and linked to the bible from which I am reading. (This is often a core setup in all my custom layouts).
However, once I have the pericope text entered in the bible's passage box (which then automatically updates the linked guide), I often need to scroll in my bible to read the entire pericope.
When I do this, the passage guide reverts to a single verse rather than the passage range that I had originally typed in the box. This is inconvenient for a host of reasons, but one of the biggest downsides to this behavior is that I am often using the Passage Guide to search through more than commentaries (i.e., collections, grammars, systematic theologies, confessional docs, etc.) When I'm searching these categories, I often want the entire pericope to be selected rather than just one verse. It gets very tedious to have to search verse by verse through these areas or, alternatively, to have to re-type the pericope range in the passage guide.
Therefore, I would like to request that Faithlife add a "lock" button just to the right side of the scripture box in the guides. Clicking this box would, in effect, manually override the linked resource behavior. This would allow users to have linked panels set up by default in layouts, but would give users the option to override this behavior with one click without having to go into the panel menu each time to un-link/re-link.
I've taken the liberty of even designing a visual mock-up of what this could look like.
