LINKING A COMMENTARY DEFINITION TO YOUR NOTES

Hi, I kind of forgot how to link an article to my notes. For instance, Strong Greek #26 gives me the definition of "Agape." I could copy the entire article into my notes, highlight the word "agape" and create an icon next to it so that the next time I read (e.g. Philemon v:5) on agape, I just read what it means. 

However, in order to save space, I used to create a note icon next to agape, write the word "AGAPE" on my notes after having linked it to the article, but I completely forgot how to do it. 

Besides this, is there a page where I can learn other neat things that will save me time and space? 

Thank you, 

Joseph

    You can right click on the lemma and add it to an existing note file. When you right click there will be several selection options

    Selection - will add a note just for the article in the resource you're looking at

    Sentence - will do the same

    Greek GK #26 - will add a note that will appear in any resource that is tagged with Greek Strong's numbers as long as that resource has the note fil enabled.

    Thank you for responding, but the response you gave was not what I was looking for. Let me give you an example and see if I can explain it better. 

    Let's say, I'm looking for a definition of a word in the Greek. Once I find it in my logos 6 from one of my Greek Interlinear's, I realize that the article is too large to copy it into a brand new note that would appear next to the word in English in my preferred bible (after I have created the note)

    In order to avoid having the same exact article twice on my logos (one my library and one on my notes), I would like to create a link to the article in my note.

    What I used to do was create a brand new note with a word that would define what I'm looking for. Let's say I write on my brand new note the noun "AGAPE." What I would like to do is to highlight the noun "Agape" after it has been linked directly to the definition of the Greek word.

    In the future when I come up with that particular verse once again, I will see that I have a note next to the English word "love." Once I open my note, the noun "AGAPE" will appear by itself, but if I bring my mouse and place it on the middle of the word, the entire article will appear.

    To read it, all I would have to do is put my mouse and the word "AGAPE" while pressing at the same time the Ctrl key. That motion will take me once again directly to the original article.

    My question is, how do link my note "AGAPE" to the original article? 

    Thank you for taking the time to respond, [:)]

    you would use the chain link in the notes editor - much like here in the forum editor.

    I've used the verb form agapao for that.

    Looked up the definition in BDAG and decided to link there from a note in Jn 3:16 - click on the resoure picture of BDAG (or whatever your preferred lexicon may be) to open the menu from where you can save the position as URL

    create your note, write a word you want to link to the definition (agapao in this case) and click the chain link icon of the notes editor, then paste the URL you just copied into the input field.

    Afterwards, you can see the definition on mouse over and easily go there.

     

    (sorry for the foreign language UI, but this will work at the same place in English)
