Can Logos Notes auto link Apocrypha?

Does the Logos Notes feature that automatically hyperlinks to bible refs in the note (non-anchored) work for apocryphal books, such as Jubilees 3:28 or even Josephus resources?

I'm trying to figure out if it's a bug or a non-feature outside of main biblical references.

Thanks

    Bumping in hopes of getting an appropriate response.

    I'd think that rates as a functionality issue (meriting a feedbear suggestion, instead of a bug report)

    'Apocrypha', or deuterocanon have a fairly narrow definition, even though Jubilees and Josephus were in some Bibles (if I remember right)

    But the software is choosey, even on apocrypha. A note in NRSV on Sirach activates its reference (in the note text). A similar note in LES for Sirach doesn't.  Why, I have no idea.

    The Notes feature currently only autolinks to Bible references (including Apocrypha books such as Tobit, Judith, Baruch) but not to pseudepigrapha (such as Enoch, Testament of Job, Jubilees, etc.) or other data types.

    We have a case tracking this feature request and I've added a link to your post to the case.

    I'm not able to reproduce this problem; can you provide a screenshot (or ideally, a screen recording)?

    Thanks for the info, wasn't sure if it was a bug.

    You're right.  But when I tried it several times, it was observably dead (black). Will keep an eye.
