References between monograph resources
I have two monograph resources, Resource 'A' and Resource 'B'. Resource 'A' reference resource 'B' with a footnote by resource name and page number. However, when I hover over the footnote refenence, it shows the resource name and page number but there is no hyper-link to resource 'B'. Is there a way to generate this link in L4?
Thanks

Great name Thomas!Thomas Jackson said:Is there a way to generate this link in L4?
Short answer:No. Explanation follows if you want it. :-)
The hyperlinks are internal to the documents/resources in Logos and have to be put there by Logos before the book is compiled. The good news is that Logos is actively retagging their ressources with up to date links between books. The bad news is that we don't know when resources "A" and "B" will be fixed.
A slightly longer explanation is that it's likely that one resource was built long before the other was available and thus the hyperlink wasn't there because it wasn't possible with the first resource was created. Additionally, many but not all of these hyperlinks can be created by scripts and programs rather than by employees doing it by hand.
So, what action can you do?
One possibility is to create a note file for hyperlinks and paste the proper link in there. In the future you'll be able to click the yellow note icon → then click the hyperlink. It's not pretty or very effective if you have lots of them.
A second alternative is to select the text and right click it and then click Submit a Typo Report. When the dialog comes up, just insert a comment in the bottom frame stating: Please link this to the proper resource.

Nice problem for Logos.
Perhaps, there can also be future-oriented links, which could make use of ISBN or something. But of course, it could double the work for those who prepare the resources, unless the programmers can automate the job.

Click the link below to go to Logos UserVoice and vote for the opportunity to add (or correct) hyperlinks. My suggestion is that this would combine the opportunity to add hyperlinks with the reporting of the new links to Logos in the same way that typos are sent.
The campaign is slow to get off the ground, but it is one that affects a lot of us users. Please lend your support.
