Adding links in LHI

I realize that Logos has plenty on its plate, but I have a request that would be of tremendous value and benefit to me...and it seems like something that ought to exist anyway.

In the LHI (Lexham Hebrew Interlinear), there are often notes that have links saying things like "See also KB & BDB". While I appreciate the heads-up, I think it would be far more helpful if the advice were an actual link to the appropriate material in question. This would be immensely helpful.

Seeing as this is a Logos-branded item, I hope this suggestion is given some kind of priority. Thanks.

    [Y]  Not sure how back the Logos records exist for expanding into links (which are quite hard to see).

    The Suggestions forum would be better; General forum is not specific enough to get that sort of attention. An email to logos4feedback@logos.com is more direct.

    While the notes to 'see KB & BDB' might not themselves be hyperlinks, every word in LHI (not just the ones with specific notes) is linked into KB (HALOT) and BDB via the KeyLink tables.

    Thanks for the info, Vince. My next question is--Is this true in Libronix too? That's where I use LHI about 98% of the time...maybe more.

    Yes. Everytime you execute a KeyLink on a lemma and arrive in the right place in BDB or HALOT despite differences in spelling or homograph number assignment (which is almost all the time in the current incarnation of LHI, considering that it doesn't have vowel points on the lemmas), that is the KeyLink tables at work.

    I thought we were talking about the notes with the magnafying-glass-needed letters. (Though I don't think this is a priority at all.)
