Idea: Popups while preaching

I know some prefer to have a Bible open while preaching… I appreciate the sentiment, but I’ve found it easier to include any Bible passages I need in my sermon document.

However, there are times when it would be helpful to be able to spontaneously refer back to the passage later on in the sermon without paging back in your sermon and losing your place. Also, I sometimes add Bible references in my sermon that I didn’t originally intend to read, but during the sermon I change my mind and want to read from them.

It would be really nice if

1. There was a button in “Preach” mode (at the top) which would open up a popup of the sermon passage(s) defined in the information panel, so you can always read from your sermon text.
2. Clicking on hyperlinks within the sermon document would open a popup of the hyperlinked Scripture or Resource (including hyperlinks at thetop of a text block).
3. These popups would not be limited to the exact quote/passage but would also be able to be scrolled backwards and forward for additional context.
4. These popups would be easily dismissed so as not to get in the way of preaching the sermon.
