Harmony of the Old Testament?
I was in a webinar today and someone asked about a harmony of the Old Testament, so when they are reading through Kings, they can see what Prophet was writing at that time and be able to reference what they wrote at that time (I hope this makes sense).
Does anyone know of a way to do this in Logos, be it by dataset, some feature, or a book that already exists?

Sounds like. It's a whole bunch of textual parallels in the OT. And you choose which version. Quite good.
I've been reading 'Ahab Agonistes' and Jackson is invaluable, comparing passages.

From my understanding of the question, the person is looking to know what prophets were writing what while reading through a historical book. Would this have something like that in it?

That sounds more like a linked timeline?
For example, in Jackson, if you were in Micah, it would be showing you matching passages in Isaiah. Similarly, if in Isaiah, matching passages in 2 Kings (or visa versa).

Hello !
You can read through a Chronological Bible. It will let you read the prophets along the history that happened at that time.
I can recommend you the NLT Chronological Study Bible which has an excellent overview, and excellent timelines that show those relationships between prophets and the historical events at that period :

I also just built a Chronological Bible as a Personal Book to support reading the Bible in chronological order, and help make those links :

I hope this helps. I recently read Jeremiah, Ezekiah, Daniel alongside the history of the fall of Jerusalem and the exile using the NLT Chronological Bible, and that has been an incredible experience for me !

Check out this:
The Twice-Told Tale: Parallels in the Bible is the English version of a Hebrew work titled Parallels in the Bible, which is also published by Carta Jerusalem. As in the Hebrew version, the entire Book of Chronicles (I and II) appears in one column, with the parallel verses from other books of the Bible in an accompanying column on the same page. Parallels between books other than Chronicles are also included, such as parallel laws in the Pentateuch, later prophets’ use of earlier prophets, and parallel psalms and proverbs. Words or phrases that are omitted in one source are represented by blank spaces of appropriate length in the opposite column. The Twice-Told Tale uses the classic text of the King James Version for this English edition.

Not to my knowledge ... prophet timing has been arguable for most. Looks like Chronological (above) might fit.

I have that too. I personally like Jackson (comes in Full Feature and I assume the subscription). The problem with Twice-Told is that it only links at chapter level; Jackson links at verse level, either parallel. And Twice-Told, I can't immediately see 'Book-Chap-Verse' for the parallel (have to scroll up)
I love Carta; just this one not quite as easy as Jackson's.

I have used A Harmony of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles on occasion.
