Triggering Fact Book from right mouse click

I might have missed this, but is there a way to search the Fact Book from a right mouse click or do I have to either copy and paste or type in what I want?

Thanks Andrew. However, I should have clarified.
how can I Fact Book something other than from a bible? For example I have high lighted John Smyth in A Sourcebook for Baptist Heritage. when I right click John Smyth there is no option to search the Fact Book.

The right click menu tends to work from the underlying tagging within the resource. I am not where I can try it out at the moment but I agree if it’s not possible that it would be useful if from the right click menu a search of factbook could be run for the selected surface text and return possible matching factbook entries if an exact match is not found. FL seemed to have banked on Factbook as the go to source of information so I agree being able to search it from a right click makes sense.

Ah, I understand what you are asking now.
Unfortunately, this isn't possible right now, although I can certainly see the value of that. As Disciple II indicated, a link to a specific Factbook page would require a type of tagging in the resource that is typically only done in Bibles. I'd recommend creating a suggestion for your search idea at https://feedback.faithlife.com/boards/logos-desktop-app

MM,
You can right click on John Smyth, select John Smyth from the right mouse menu and run a basic search. The top entry of the search should be Factbook entries available. I know it is one more step and opens a search results pane, but it does work.

That works. It's not exactly what I was thinking about. But eventually it gets there. Thanks.
Still would be nice to cut out that extra step you found.
