I occasionally want to make my own cross-references without attaching them to a notebook. I'm looking at the cross references of the Gospel of John in the Old Testament, namely the book of Psalms.
The only way I know to do this is with Notes. Why do you want to avoid that?
Because I do not want it anchored to the text of the Gospel of John.
I’m not sure I understand, then, what you are looking for.
I assumed you wanted some indication - in the biblical text - that you had created a cross-reference. If so, the only way we can do this is using notes which will create an anchor. Without the anchor there is no visual indication.
If you want cross-references that don’t have an associated icon then presumably you could create these in a Personal Book.
If I am still missing your point, please clarify
I create cross references in my Notes and use a special icon on the note to show that it is a cross reference. Works well with me.
Notes don't need to be anchored to anything ... just press "new note". But, like Graham, I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve.
Looks to me like be saw this forum post that was resurrected yesterday - https://community.logos.com/forums/t/132919.aspx - and decided to start a new thread on the same topic.
That thread was resurrected from my post, but my reason for wanting to create a non-note/non-highlight cross reference is different. I DO prefer to anchor cross references to a verse, word or phrase, but I'd rather they just pop up with hyperlinks (like the embedded cross references do) rather than redirect me to a separate note. That way I could view the cross reference verses directly from the Bible text, plus the pop-up fonts adjust according to the resource font settings. Logos made the embedded cross references to work exactly as they should, IMO -- but I figure it's programmatically different to embed the provided cross-references vs allowing users to create their own that way.
