Adding missing or incorrect hyperlinks

Has anyone found a convenient way to add missing or incorrect hyperlinks to resources?

When I am reading some commentaries, they refer to books that I have in my collection but apparently were not available in Logos when the hyperlinks for the commentary were written. This also applies to dictionaries like Anchor Yale, which has lots of useful references but I have to look many of them up manually, as there is no hyperlink.

Also quite frequently bible references, particularly if given in the text just as numbers (3:16-17) may be hyperlinked to the book that the commentary is about rather than another book which the sentence or paragraph I am reading is about.

I would like to be able to correct these mistakes as I go along, so that next time I read the same passage I don't have to go looking for the correct resource again. Where links are actually wrong I report them as typos, but the process of getting the books changed is a slow one.

I've thought about inserting notes containing the hyperlinks. However, the popup for the note doesn't allow me to access the linked resource simply by hovering or by clicking on a link; I have to open the notes file and then hover or click from there. I would like to have the same sort of functionality that you have in the popup for a footnote.

Has anyone found a better way of doing this?

Jonathan, the note files are the only way I know of to "add" a hyperlink to a document. User created hyperlinking would be an excellent suggestion for UserVoice.

As suggested, I have added this to UserVoice. If you agree, please take a moment to go and vote for it.

You can also report missing links as typos. That's what I've been doing. I use the comment field to report "Missing link: " and then paste in the link that should be there (the URL of the Title Page of the resource in question, which I get from "Copy location as URL"). I also mark all these spots that I've already reported with a special highlighting style which prefixes the text with purple colored "typo:" to remind myself that I've already reported that one, and to be able to follow up to see when these get fixed eventually. So far I have yet to see any of the typos I've reported get fixed, but that's partly because it is so excruciatingly slow to search my entire Library for my Typo highlighting style with the wildcard character (*) that I haven't done it in a while. It took well over an hour the last time I tried. Something needs to be done about this, too. [:(]

Thanks Rosie. I report a lot of these typos as well, but I see little hope of getting them corrected quickly.

What I have suggested on UserVoice is a system that both gives the short-term benefit of being able to add my own hyperlinks (stored separately in a file similar to the notes files) and also lets Logos know that I have created the link (so that they can act on it in the same way as a typo report).

I see little hope of getting them corrected quickly.

With only 3 votes, I doubt Logos will be considering this suggestion any time soon. The best method is to continue sending typo notifications to Logos.

Thanks for the encouragement David!

Every item on UserVoice has to start somewhere, and I've only just put it on there.
