COM API: Request for sub-page navigation please

Now that 4.0 d has gone RC, I assume the 4.0d COM API is "stable", so I'd like to ask for this to please be considered for 4.0e:

At present, the API for LogosPanel.Navigate(Request : LogosNavigationRequest) only works to page-level for page-based resources.

Please can we have a finer level of navigation? Maybe to paragraph-level.

Once a sub-page navigation format is defined, can we please also get that fine-grained level back in the LogosApplication.PanelChanged(Panel : Object, Reserved : Object) Event.

Notes:

1) I asked for something like this before, but can't find it now. It might have been deep within some other thread, and is now lost. Sorry if this is sort-of-repeated.

2) Related: Using "Read Aloud" for a page-based resource has a related issue. The screen position (and the LogosApplication.PanelChanged(Panel : Object, Reserved : Object) Event) only updates once per page, with most of the text off-screen during the reading. This point (2) also feels like a repeat but I did not find it when I searched for all my API related posts. Sorry.

3) For a verse-based resource (Bible) the above problems don't happen, and the auto-navigate and events work just fine. Thankyou.

P.S.

For a Note within a Logos4 Notes File, the hyperlinking and navigation works to character level, in a page-based resource.

However, even then, the event only fires with a page-level reference per my cryptic debug lines below:

app.Event: PanelActivated [panel.Title: A Matter of Days] [panel.Kind: Resource] [panel.LinkSet: None]
app.Event: PanelNavigated [panel.PanelId: 6102fef1-fa98-4f77-8a10-1e77944d0a51] [panel.Kind: Resource] [panel.Title: A Matter of Day] [panel.LinkSet: None]
Refs1: 1 [Headword: ] [HeadwordLanguage: ] [Save: Page.p 45]
Refs2: 1 [ref.IsRange: False] [ref.Render: Page 45]
Refs3: 1 [ldt.AbbreviatedTitle: ] [ldt.Alias: Page] [ldt.SortTitle: Page] [ldt.Title: Page]
Refs4: 1 [ref.RangeStart: Page.p 45] [ref.RangeEnd: Page.p 45]

[:S] Yes!

I did a number of searches on my name, on "API", on "COM API" and for some reason, was unable to find it. Ops!

I hope something is possible, as a single page of a book is rather a lot bigger than what fits on 1 compter screen. But I think that point is now well-made, so I'll leave it for whoever looks into such things.

Thanks.

I added clarification regarding the Read Aloud issue to previous report.
