Footnotes visually confusing

The brown arrow points to a link which opens a resource when clicked. The green arrow point to a link which opens Power Lookup when clicked. With Power Lookup creating a new fixed width pane on the right, I don't find the ambiguity funny. I have this silly UI design principle that I ought to be able to guess what will happen when I click on something.

 

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Where is your spirit of adventure? [:D]

    Seriously, I agree with you.

    I can't reproduce this, but I think it occurs when the system can't find a destination for the hyperlink in your library. We don't try to resolve hyperlinks at display time (because that could be an expensive lookup, which would slow down resource display).

    You can "resolve" this issue by purchasing the Canon Law Collection, so that there is a destination for the Code of Canon Law data type. [;)]

    For once you're wrong - I can't purchase it although I do have a preorder on it. I can "resolve" this issue only by Logos delivering the resource.[:D] However, the senario you describe usually gives me a you-don't-own-this-but-you-could message.
