Is there a way to have a user note with a link to a Pages document (sermon)?

    Is there a way to have a user note with a link to a Pages document (sermon)?

    The screenshots at https://wiki.logos.com/Notes#Creating_hyperlinks_to_documents_in_your_computer are for an earlier version of Logos but does this procedure help you at all?

    Yes Graham it does help. I wanted to link to my Pages document (sermon) and although it looks like a lengthy process I think it can be done. Thank you!

    I realize this is an older thread, but I'm still trying to do this in 2022.  It was promised as "feature parity" ? when the new notes came out in Logos 8.  I still cant get it to work in Logos 10.  Also, the pictures in the above wiki article are all missing. When I follow the instructions and add a link, Logos adds https to it.  I've tried different variations and nothing seems to work.  Has anyone been able to do this with a recent version of Logos?

    Thanks

    If you're working with a sermon, is there a reason not to use the sermon manager?

    No, this is not for sermons, but for the notes tool.   I use Logos notes extensively (~4,000) and this used to work back in Logos 7 but it was broken when the "new notes" came out in Logos 8. It was on the list to be added back in to keep "feature parity."  I was hoping it would be fixed by now.

    I see, I vaguely remember trying to link external files back in L6, but getting frustrated and abandoning the project.

    I think I was trying to add notes to reflect resources that had guided my thinking on a passage. Mostly linking sermons that I had downloaded. I don't think I was ever successful, and ended up just adding them to word documents, and making those into personal books. That way at least when I search for a passage, or a concept that I have note books on, I can find my thinking, and the source once more.
