Backlinks in Logos notes

There was an error rendering this rich post.

There is a lot of untapped potential for connected thinking in Logos notes. One large step would be to integrate backlinking functionality. For example in Obsidian, typing [[ brings up a list of notes and creates a link to that note. In Apple Notes, two > in a row does the same thing. Can we implement something like this in Logos Notes?

A native method would be welcome. For a workaround I designed an Alfred Workflow on MacOS. I actually baught Alfred just to automate my Logos workflow. It should be easy to recreate it in Windows. If you are on Windows and know how to code I can help you. I know how to code and translate into a lot of languages.

My hotstring is actually “[[“ to trigger a menu for all document kinds. Select Sermon hit enter and a list of all sermons popup. Search and hit enter and the link magically appears. Notes are almost the same but link selected text to noteid’s.

WOW, this looks amazing. I do have a Mac and am very interested in learning more. The Alfred power pack would be very much worth it for what you're describing. In addition to linking notes to each other, linking a sermon to a note would be huge.

This is especially important to me in the current political environment as Genesis 1 has an androgynous Adam rather than a male Adam. However, Logos not only makes Genesis 2 the primary text, it…
Reading Plan for Print Library Books
Can we add functionality so that Logos can help me keep track of reading books in my print library? It probably would need a final page number field to be entered to confirm which edition or a book (even if it's just equally dividing raw page numbers).

Auto Translate: Add navigation buttons in the translation tool
Please improve navigation in the Auto Translation tool. When a book is translated in the right column, the scrolling of the texts is confusing and the point of the text we are reading is often lost.
