Personal Book: Cannot link to multiple consecutive DSS verses at once?

I am trying to enter a link in a personal book to the Genesis Apocryphon (1QapGen or 1Q20) in the Dead Sea Scrolls. I am using the Dead Sea Scrolls: Study Edition (Translations) as my source text, but I want my link to point to whatever the highest prioritized book is in my library containing the relevant reference. The link I created DOES work, but only if I am pointing to a single verse:
[[1Q20 2:1 >> QSM:1Q20 2:1]]
However, if I want to do multiple consecutive verses, such as this, it does NOT work, and does not even show up as a link at all in the personal book:
[[1Q20 2:1-2 >> QSM:1Q20 2:1-2]]
Oddly enough, in other portions of the DSS I can link to multiple consecutive verses with no problem:
[[1Q20 Frag. 1 2:1–2 >> DSSSE:1Q20 Frag. 1 ii:1-2]]
What am I missing?
Edit: This works for a single verse:
[[1Q20 2:1 >> DSSSE:1QapGen ar Col. ii:1]]
But if I try extending it to two verses, the personal book WILL create a link (progress, I guess), but the link doesn't go anywhere. It just opens up the Power Lookup tool with a message saying, "No resources found that contain this reference."
[[1Q20 2:1-2 >> DSSSE:1QapGen ar Col. ii:1-2]]

As far as I know, this is a (severe) limitation with the DSS datatypes — they don't support ranges. That's not just in PBs, but everywhere.

Mark, thanks for your response. I was hoping it was user error and not a datatype limitation, but it looks like that is not the case. Usually if multiple passages are selected at once, Logos provides visual feedback acknowledging this, but such does not appear to be the case for most of the DSS.There are a few fragments here or there where it does work, but I am mostly seeing what is pictured in the screenshot below (on the left). There is no indication at all that a range of passages is even selected (as is the case on the right).

Exactly. And all links to the DSS only link to one verse, even if a range is specified in the text.

I assume Faithlife already knows about this and there is no need to file a new bug report?

Yes, it is a known limitation in the current DSS data type that ranges are not supported.
