Extend Web Lookup to Aramaic and Syriac

I would like to see an existing functionality of "Perseus Web Lookup" for Greek extended to other web-lexicons and languages. See screenshot 1.
Specifically, I would like to look up Aramaic words on CAL and Sedra directly from Logos.
For Aramaic languages including Syriac, the most popular and regularly updated online lexicon is CAL: http://cal.huc.edu/
An example of lemma search: http://cal.huc.edu/oneentry.php?lemma=mlk%232+N&cits=all
Similarly, for Syriac there is Sedra API:
https://sedra.bethmardutho.org/about/openapi#tag/API%2Fpaths%2F~1word~1%7Bid%7D%2Fget
I'm aware of the Targum Lexicon from the CAL files in the Logos library. Online lexicons contain more information and have additional features like corpus search, links to the original texts, etc. See the comparison in screenshot 2.

I work frequently in Syriac, and would love as much functionality as possible.
