Hyperlinking two resources
I am busy preparing a thesis. When researching a topic I will find references in different resources. Is there a way that I can place a hyperlink in one resource, at a certain place, and create an automatic link to open an article in another, thus reminding myself about the second article. I would prefer to use a hyperlink and open the resource rather than create a large note in the original article. In this way it will reduce note taking enormously.
I have tried using the note taking function but do not seem to be able to get this to work. I did not find anything helpful in the help file either.

1. With the resource open at the desired place, click the resource icon (top left of its tab.)
2. Under Copy Location as click URL.
3. In Microsoft Word, choose Hyperlink on the Insert tab of the ribbon, and paste the location into the dialog.
Notes:
- If you are using Logos 3, use the Favorites menu to copy the current location.
- You don't have to use Word as the target.

Hi Allen,
I would actually like to place the hyperlink in a separate Logos4 resource, so that when I am reading the one I am reminded to check the hyperlinked resource for comparison. So a note or similar marking in one resource could hyperlink to another. I suppose that what I am wanting is a user created hyperlink the same as what a biblical quote works at present.

Bert:
You can put hyperlinks in notes in Logos 4, but there are currently some limitations that might cause you to change your mind about how to proceed. You can select the text of a note and type something like http://logos.com into the hyperlink box. But you can't yet do this with libronix-style URLs like libronixdls:jump|ref=bible.10.11.23|res=LLS:1.0.50, though you can paste that as a string into a note (ugly but effective), and you can paste them into the command bar. Also, not all resources provide URLs for you to copy yet (notable omissions for me are Biblical People/Places/Things).
So while i hope we can soon do exactly what you suggest, we're not quite there yet, and in the meantime you might find it more effective to manage your collection of hyperlinked notes in Word or another document.

I wonder if Logos 5 has increased functionality in this regard. I am reading "Protestant Doctrine of Scripture" by Van Til and there is a quote from "The Works of BB Warfield, Vol 1" that is also in my library. But Logos has not linked the the footnote.
How can criticism disprove their claim? Warfield answers this by saying, “in order, therefore, to shake this doctrine, biblical criticism must show: either that the New Testament writers do not claim inspiration; or, that this claim was rejected by the contemporary church; or, that it is palpably negatived by the fact that the books containing it are forgeries; or, equally clearly negatived by the fact that they contain along with the claim, errors of fact or contradictions of statement. The important question before us today, then, is: Has biblical criticism proved any one of these positions?”

Does Logos 5 have the functionality for me to create this link or do I report it to Logos and hope for the best?
Thanks,
Jeff

You can't create a link in the Logos resource, but you can create a URL hyperlink in a Note attached to the resource.
