Feature request: extend "Show With Chapters" feature

Hello John,

I just sent (through automatic error reporting) a problem that happened when I was using the feature "Show with Chapters".
Since you might be looking in the workings of this feature, I take the occasion to tell about an extension of it that would be practical: extend this feature to all combinations of links. The one that I would use first is "Show with Reviews". But it could be useful also to show a Book with all its translations. Or an "Argument" with all its "Rebuttal", etc.
By the way, is there a way I could manage with Bookends the kind of bibliography I keep on the following web page: http://realtremblay.org/A-libri.htm

Thanks for listening.

Jules Mimeault

I replied to your email, but for others reading, there was a bug in this function introduced in 11.2.7. It was fixed in a silent update to 11.2.8, so please download 11.2.8 again if it affects you.

Please use the Link Inspector. It shows all links for the parent reference, and you can mark the ones you want for further manipulation (e.g. for a bibliography) or simply view them with a double click.

I don't see why not. Bookends can output HTML (Biblio -> Bibliography Formatter) and you can include hypertext links. Please see the user guide section on Bookends Server for examples of formats that output links (I know you're not using Bookends Server, but some of the examples there will be helpful for outputting straight HTML).
