[bt-devel] hyperlinks in display windows

Hi all!

At the moment I'm thinking how hyperlinks (e.g. reference to Exodus 2:1 in 
the WEB module) should be implemented and handled.
Let's use some examples:
	We have an open bible window displaying Genesis 1 of the KJV module. 
Strong's numbers are turned on.
	Now we display the strong numbers as references (hyperlinks) to a strong 
lexica. How should clicking on this hyperlink be handled?
	a) Should everytime a new lexicon window displaying the  strong module be 
opened?
	b) Should only the new window be opened if a window with the strong module 
is not open already?
	c) or should a winow only be opened if a lexion window is not open? The 
module would be changed from the first lexicon window.

Please send e your preferences so I can choose the best solution.
My dream is, that the text which belongs to the reference is displayed in a 
small tooltip window if the mouse stops over such a hyperlink. IMHO this is 
nice and possible to implement, too.
