Option to delimit the biblical book in the comments via “Set Prioritization Limits (advanced)”

There could be an option to delimit the Bible book in the prioritized individual commentary books via “Set Prioritization Limits (advanced)”.
_____________________________
Some books of the Bible are commented on in the same volume. This is very common in smaller books or letters such as 1-3 John; 1-2 Peter etc.
I'll explain how I've been using the Prioritization feature with the commentaries so that you understand how useful it is.
I have divided my prioritized resources related to commentaries into the following order of prioritization:
1) Study Bibles (because they are summarized)
2) Best Commentaries on each book of the Bible
(Here I have subdivisions of the OT and NT and each book of the Bible)
3) Practical Commentaries (series)
4) Other Commentaries (series)
This is useful for me when I use Guide or Workflow with the commentaries section, because the commentaries appear in that particular order (obviously). It's also useful in “Parallel Resources” to switch between the best ones.
The detail is in item 2) Best Commentaries of each book of the Bible. I've been gradually prioritizing the best commentaries using bestcommentaries.com. Instead of putting an entire collection, I use the “Prioritize this book” option. This way I have the best commentaries sorted in precise order and they will appear for me in “Parallel Resources”, Guides or Workflows.
The problem is when the book of a commentary of a specific biblical book is together with another of lower quality. I would like to be able to use “Set Prioritization Limits (advanced)” to define that I will prioritize only the part of the book/commentary that comments on that specific biblical book.
An example where this applies to me is in prioritizing the commentaries on the Gospel of Matthew. The D. A. Carson commentary, “Matthew” (Expositor's Bible Commentary) is in the same volume with Mark and Luke. The website bestcommentaries.com ranks Matthew's (Carson's) in third place, but the other two do not appear in the ranking of Mark and Luke. In this case what will happen is, as I have prioritized the volume in Matthew, when I use a Guide or Workflow searching in Mark and Luke that same book/volume will appear higher in the prioritization because it is prioritized in Matthew which is “higher” in the canon position and in the prioritization functionality.
Therefore, being able to delimit which part of the book/commentary I want to prioritize would be excellent in these cases.
You can see my prioritization in the image below. The titles of the testaments and books are in Portuguese, but the names have similarities with English that allow them to be identified. The detail is that I create personal books with section names so that I can visualize and separate them better. I haven't yet managed to do this for all the books of the Bible. I've been doing it little by little.

@Anderson Abreu – you can do this by choosing "Bible" in "of this type", and then entering the desired reference range below.0

@Mark Barnes (Logos) , I realized that mine has a bug, because when I click on set limit, it opens a blank pop-up with no field. When I try to type, the typing takes place behind the pop-up without me being able to see anything. That's why I thought I didn't have the option. I thought it was invalid for what I wanted to do.
