Unknown icon/tool in Faithlife Study Bible

I've circled two icons in the above capture from the Faithlife Study Bible. Clicking the second one expands the text to provide additional information. I can't figure out with the first one is for. Any clues? I just did a L5 minimal crossgrade from L4 Platinum.

Thanks,
Terry

I was certain that it was the link to the Bible Dictionary that goes with the FSB. But either I am wrong or Logos has a problem or both. OR more likely, click on the word before the symbol and you'll link as I expected,

The one that looks a bit like a door is a link to the Lexham Bible Dictionary. Clicking on it should open the article referred to on blue type.

EDIT: the Lexham Dictionary is included in all Logos base packages. I believe it was also available through the free subscription to Faithlife.

Mark, at least for me I have to click on the word not the icon.

I am on my iPad so my finger doesn't distinguish the two so well, but that seems correct. The icon alerts one to the link.

Mark and MJ,

The word before the icon is in a different color and is hyperlinked to articles in the LBD. Since hovering the mouse over the word gives the LBD info in a "bubble" like when hovering other linked words in Logos, I don't understand the purpose of the icon. Seems strange--not the standard way Logos handles these things. Might this be some kind of artifact from Faithlife.com or something that only turns on with mobile devices? Or is there yet something to be discovered? --Terry

It is a part of the design of Faithlife. Faithlife was built for mobile devices. Even though you can get a small popup on a mobile device, there isn't enough screen space to fit in an article. I don't think scrolling in a popup can be done, but even if it could, the current way of linking works better.

FSB is really a mobile resource, built for mobile devices. So a bit of strangeness from a PC or Mac point of view is to be expected. For anyone who hasn't used it on a mobile device, it probably will produce questions.
