PB Calendar Devotional questions: Today's Reading & "Title Page" in TOC

I'm working on a PB Calendar Devotional, and there are a couple of things I can't figure out how to do which other devotionals do (e.g., Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon):

How to put a link saying "Today's Reading" on the title page which jumps to today's reading.
How to get "Title Page" to be an entry in the Table of Contents without those words appearing in the book itself. (This question actually applies to any book, not just calendar devotionals. But again, Spurgeon's Morning and Evening is an example of a Logos book that does this.)

Unfortunately, IIRC both things have been discussed on the forums and in both cases the answer was "currently not supported in PB" - but I may be wrong and would like to be...

Hmmm...when i open a Devotional PB it automatically goes to Today's article.

EDIT: i have not been able to get hyperlinks in a Devotional PB to show up on the Home Page FWIW.

Yes, it does that for me too. I was just hoping to improve the TOC so that if I'd been browsing around in the devotional I could get back to today easily. I guess that's not possible at present.

Another question: anyone know how to get a horizontal line (or paragraph border) into a PB? Is this supported yet? Again, it's for a calendar devotional, to separate the entries visually on the page, as is done in Morning and Evening.

As stated in the 4.3 release notes or in a beta forum post by a Logos employee, PB does not support Text boxes, Line art, etc. But you can insert a picture of a line into your Devotional PB, but it will set the width for the PB (notice the horz scrollbar). Again when a Devotional shows in the Home Page, it shows no special effects (images, hyperlinks, etc)

Bummer! I had deleted all the pictures of lines throughout my devotional and converted them to horizontal borders because they weren't coming across at all. The borders aren't coming across either. I'll have to fiddle around with it some more. Ideally it would be nice if the line were sizeable based on the window width, since Logos clearly has the ability to do that (that's how the lines in Morning & Evening work), but whatever.

Thanks for the help!

Yes i would like to see some improvements in PB devotionals. Lines would be nice, i also would like to see hyperlinks which showed in the devotional in the Home page. That would allow me to create a custom Reading plan completely at my discretion.

PB's defined as calendar devotionals do appear on the home page like any other calendar devotionals ... I'm not sure what you are saying.
