Buttons Close Instead Of Just Open

For the main Logos toolbar buttons, could you add a close function to them.
When we clicked a button but that's a misclick, then clicking the button again would close the tab.

For example, the Bible button.

If no Bible is currently open clicking it would open one. If one is open clicking it would focus it.
If it's already focused clicking it would close it. Middle mouse button would open a new top Bible in a new tab always. Ctrl + Click would close all Bibles. Shift + Click would open to the most recent place, or today in a live Bible reading plan or something.

Instead of right click for 'open in new tab' if the middle mouse button took over that function, then the right click could be freed up for a context jump list. Each button could have its own commands. You could make a user customized jump list builder too.

For example, the Bible button right click:
Go To: Gen.1:1
Go To: Matt.1:1
Bible Browser
Bible Search
(etc.)

Currently your buttons are one of those things that can get you into trouble but can't get you out.

    What if I would like to have a second Bible open? Expecting to have a second Bible open up and instead having one's first Bible close would be a frustrating experience.

    Agree with Aaron.

    I do like the right-click idea, but I like even more the right-click > window, to not blow up my layout (and consistency).

    My idea helps with that too. Clicking it would focus the top Bible. If it's already focused why would you click the button. In the rare event it's a misclick, then Shift + clicking it again would reopen one back to where you were before.

    Middle mouse click would open a new Bible tab. If you want a clone of a tab, middle mouse click on the tab itself would do that.
