Can I link an English Bible to a resource that will show me BHS for OT or NA27 for NT?

Is it possible to link a single resource to an English Bible so that when I type an OT reference in the English Bible, the linked resource shows me the BHS for that verse. And when I enter an NT reference, the linked resource shows me NA26/27?

Well, there's 3 ways, depending, from simplest to fancy:

Open your Bible, plus your hebrew and greek resources, and 'link' all with the same letter. As you move your Bible, your hebrew or greek follow you (even though differing versification).
Open your Bible and select parallel view. In the book drop down, select your hebrew and greek resources. They'll 'appear' appropriately, if OT or NT, matching the correct verse. Nifty.
More fancy, you could create your hebrew/greek Bible using Logos' 'series'. Then, link that to your english Bible.

If misunderstanding, or need more detail?

I've used all but #3. I was hoping to be able to open one window and have it dynamically switch, but I am thinking parallel makes the most sense. HOWEVER, the custom series option looks super cool. I need to play around with it. If you have any resources/videos about creative ways people have used that feature, send them my way!

Option 3 works flawlessly for me. Do you need any help setting it up?

Thanks Jack! I am actually going to stick with option #2 for now. The only reason #3 might be beneficial is because I can adjust the font size of the english and Grk/Heb separately. I'll just wait until my eyes get worse I guess (they are well on their way)
