Fix Hyperlinks in Guide notes, pretty please....

I know this is a "thats how it worked in L4" situation but I would hate to see all your hard work put into the guide organization wasted because of the inadequacies of Guide Notes. When I create a hyperlink in the new bibliography tool they they. For instance, if I copy and past a resource URL into the Bibliography note section, close the Bibliography and reopen it the hyperlink is still a hyperlink. When I copy and paste a hyperlink from work into this note section, still works.

When I try the same thin in the Guide's note section I lose all hyperlinks everytime I reopen the guide. I would have to go to the end of the hyperlink and put a space so Logos re-recognizes it as a hyperlink. This seriously undermines the value of saved guides. Suppose I want to add a chapter from a monograph book to the commentary section of a passage guide so that in the future it is right there. Or suppose a journal article deals with a grammatical issue I want saved in the grammar section of an exegetical guide. Maybe there is a theme I believe the passage is talking about but is not tagged to the passage...get my drift?

I can only dream of seeing the formating bar in the guide that is present in notes and bibliographies. But I should be able to expect my hyperlinks to be maintained and function as expected. I see so much value in being able to save guides.

I do so hope they haven't put the extra work in to recreate all the L4 bugs[:P]

Here is a perfect example of why I really want this. Whenver I save a Word Study Guide I create a visual filter highlight the word everywhere it appears. When I see this highlighting I know a guide exists that I have added notes too. One of the main ways I use this function is to put links to resources that would not otherwise appear in the guide. First, I should be able to hyperlink the title of the journal in the article below. However if I do that that when I open the guide the link is gone. Instead I have to put the entire logos link in it which is very messy. Even then when I reopen the guide the link is lost and I have to either put a space after the link so that Logos recognizes it as a hyperlink or cut and paste it into the command bar. I shouldn't have to do that.

Wouldn't it be nice if such a filter was built automatically? Perhaps for all guides?

This is a great option, but only show the word study guides where I have actually taken notes within the guide.

Similarly, it would be nice to show which passages I have generated a passage guide for and actually taken notes within that passage guide.

I would envision this being a visual filter that could be turned on and off (maybe default off for those who would be turned off by the clutter)

Grrr....I REALLY want to utilize the saved guides and appreciate all the hard work you put into helping me manage them. But without being able to add my own hyperlinks to the guide they have extremely limited value to me. I just found myself asking again if I trust Logos to fix this in the future and invest in adding my notes now.
