Lectionary Links to Personal Books

Is there a way to put a Lectionary link to one or more of my Personal Books?

I use the Revised Common Lectionary for preaching each week and have converted several of my prayer / litany books using Logos Personal Book Builder. I'd like to call up the lectionary text each week and have it pull the correct sections from each of these books (the way that typing a Bible verse into the Guides does). In other words, I'd like to tag a Logos resource (RCL) with links to a personal book; this is the reverse of tagging a personal book with a Logos resource. Is this possible?

Could I setup Tags to do this?

I believe that you would have to set it up as a hyperlink, especially if you are ‘sharing’ your PB –

also check the wiki page for PB- tagging.

Unfortunately, this is not currently possible. It would be good to put a request for this feature in the Suggestions forum with a reference to this thread.. A work around is to build a note file in which the notes are attached to the lectionary and contain the links to the PB's. This is not really satisfactory as the notes appear only at the point you attach them i.e. for a particular secular calendar date. If you put them in the index portion of the lectionary you solve the shows only once problem but have to remember to seek them out each time the liturgical date occurs.

I think there have been ideas for "private links" in the forum before, and this would really be a very nice feature for all resources, not only Lectionaries

A work around is to build a note file in which the notes are attached to the lectionary and contain the links to the PB's.

That's the "classic" solution in L4, I assume. If it were not for PBs, but existing other resources, one could use the Community Note feature from Beta/RC to "crowdsource" such things (I was attempted to suggest it, but read that Logos currently has a revamp of links in the works for IIRC all portfolio content)

A second solution, especially as PBs are included, could be to rebuild the Lectionary as a PB, which then allows for inclusion of the links. PB-lectionaries work now.

I'd modify that to read "marginally work now" - I did post a Moravian 1923 lectionary as a test which I think justifies the "marginal" ... if they appeared in the Lectionary section of a Passage Guide, I would remove the "marginal"[:)]

PB-lectionaries work now.

Only if you call clicking on the link to the first text, reading that, going back to the lectionary to click on the next link, reading that, and so on, "working". I don't think I do.

It would be nice just to link within my PB to the lectionary itself, but I can't figure out how to do even this. The RCL in Logos is tied to Scripture and to Date, but not to Lectionary Date (e.g. Proper 9, Easter2 or Advent3). I currently have the Lectionary Date setup as Headings in my Word document, but that just gives me a TOC, not anything linkable.

While reading the text works at mouse-over for me, I assume that you mean the missing feature that Logos fills up their own lectionaries with dynamically created bible text in your preferred translation - seen here:

as opposed to the spartanic

okay - but while this cool feature may come some day or not for our PBs (I think they said, they don't intend to give this to us), this seems to be a question of cut&paste once you settled down for one version. Maybe this even can be automated in Word.

I rather referred to the aspect that PB lectionaries work as such, meaning they come up in the homepage ribbon:

I didn't want to discuss the features of PB lectionaries - I just wanted to point out that having a PB version one could include links to other PB resources, thus this might work as an alternative to using notes (which always is a bit clumsy if one just wants a link to another resource - but if highlights are notes, why not links likewise?)
