Notes in note?

So I have this note on Galatians 1:1.... and I want to link certain info from my resources to it...

I'm not find it, if it is available, but is there a way to create a link to the resource and then put that link in my note?

I can create a link to another note.... but Let's say I want to create a link to Halley's Bible Handbook. So, I find the place in Halley's.  Now I wish to create a link to that place and put that link in a Note... 

Is it possible? Or is there another way of doing what I am trying to do? 

xn = Christan  man=man -- Acts 11:26 "....and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch".

    First, have your note tool open to the note you already have on Gal 1:1.

    Then open your other resource (ie. Halley's Bible Handbook) and select the appropriate text.  Then on the note you already created on Gal 1:1, you click "Add anchor", and it should have the radio button turned on for "Selected Text".  Then click "Done".  

    Now when you pull up the note on Gal 1:1, you can click on the link under "Anchors" and jump to resource.

    There may be other ways, but that is how I do this.

    Bob's is a great suggestion

    Another option is to Copy the location you want as a URL

    Then - in the note - select some text you want to link to that place and paste the link into the link box

    Then that text is linked to the other resource and - clicking it - will open the resource to that place

    Graham's option is another good way.  Both ways have side effects.  Graham's links can be embedded into the note text.  My suggestion has the link as an anchor and not embedded in the text.  If you use the anchor approach, you have a note icon in Halley's Bible Handbook, so that later while reading Halley's you will come across an icon and you can then jump back to your note and see how it relates to Gal. 1:1.  

    With the URL link approach, if you are reading Halley's, you will not have any indication that you previously made a link to some text in Halley's.

    Just some things to consider, when deciding on an approach.

    Thanks guys....  Appreciate the help. I'll work with both then decide. 

    The problem with Graham's approach....  not all resources have a url to copy. I.E. Halley's Bible Handbook.

    Edit:  Sorry Graham.... you were right again!  I missed the 3 dots. Thanks

    I believe this to be incorrect; if I am wrong, please report resources without url's as bugs.
