The Lexham Discourse GNT (and Glossary and Grammar)

I had the idea today to create a Layout with these three resources: Lexham Discourse Greek New Testament, Lexham Discourse Greek New Testament: Glossary and the Discourse Grammar of the GNT

It was difficult getting them to work together.

The link sets don't do it because neither the Glossary not the Grammar are text based. I tried to set one or the other as the target resource (selecting "send hyperlinks here") which I thought would have worked ... but it didn't. I would have hoped there would be a right-click menu option by now that would allow you to link the tagging in the text to the Glossary and / or Grammar - and there wasn't. 

Finally, I was able to get some results by using an INFO window. When open, there is a definition of whatever discourse marker you hoover over. From there, you can right-click on this hyper-text link (ie- Topical Frames) and choose "Search Open Resources". Now you get some results. They are not all "Headings" or "Article headings" so I tried to refine the search using Large Text, but lost all the results in the Discourse Grammar of the GNT. (There was an article in there, but I had to wade through all hits to find it.)

I appreciate what Logos is doing with these fine resources but I would like to see them working together in an intelligent fashion. I'm sure it's in the works so we'll just have to wait. Since the videos are coming out before too long, as a matter of practicality, it would be great to have all these linked and synched IN the videos or at least by the time they are released.

    Layout possibility:

    In Lexham Discourse Greek New Testament (LDGNT), right clicked on a discourse marker, then clicked "Lexham Discour..." data type, followed by clicking search open resources first.  Found "10.1 Topical Frames" section in search results of Discourse Grammar, so clicked search result to position Discourse Grammar.  Back to LDGNT right click, then clicked "The Lexham Discourse Greek New Testament:..." to open Glossary (moved for screen shot).  In Glossary, clicked on further discussion link to open "The Lexham Discourse Greek New Testament: Introduction".

    Concur; wish "A Discourse Grammar of the Greek New Testament: A Practical Introduction for Teaching and Exegesis." had searchable Heading Text.

    I agree that integration between these resources needs to be improved!!
