REQ: Normal Greek options available from any Greek word in a resource

When right clicking on a word in NA27, for example, a range of menu options appear.

However, when I right click on a Greek word (not the headword) with in the body of a BDAG article, for example, the choices are more limited. The word's lemma is not recognised in the menu, so the usual BWS etc options do not appear.

But if I double click, one of my "keylinks" is triggered, so clearly the lemma is available for that point in the text.

Could all the normal right click options be available for a Greek (or Hebrew) word in a resource where the underlying lemma is available within the resource?

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks
Richard

    They are Greek words which may or may not be linked to a lexicon. The word you chose could only be found in DBL, probably a lemma with  limited support amongst morphological schemes. If you want to perform a lemma search do so in Morph search with lemma:word.

    However, I am concerned why some resources have Headwords with a Lemma tab on the Context menu and others do not eg. ANLEX does whilst DBL Greek/Hebrew, Louw-Nida, Vines (VONT) do not.
