Much of this, particularly the references to Bibledit-Web, are old and will probably be difficult to get working.
Currently, the best support for Bibleworks is on Windows. Bibledit-Desktop uses Windows OLE to open Bibleworks, or communicate with it if already open, to pass it the currently focused Bible reference. This will navigate Bibleworks to that reference.
Select menu View | External Resource, and then you can select one of the websites above. Bibledit-Desktop will open the default web browser and navigate to that site and the Bible same passage that is currently in focus in Bibledit-Desktop.
BibleWorks, installed on Windows or Linux, can receive the focused reference from Bibledit-Gtk or Bibledit-Web. To make this work, do the following:
Install Bibledit-Web on your local computer or on the web.Point Bibledit-Gtk to Bibledit-Web, so that it knows where to send its focused reference. The location of Bibledit-Web can be entered in Bibledit-Gtk under menu Preferences - Reference exchange. If Bibledit-Web would be installed locally, one could enter the local website, e.g. http://localhost/bibledit.Install Bibledit-BibleWorks on your local computer. The installer is at http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/bibledit/binaries/, and is called bibledit-paratext-setup-1.0.exe.Point Bibledit-BibleWorks to Bibledit-Web.
Once this has been done, it should work.
Online Bible versions 4.0, installed on Windows or Linux, can receive the focused reference from Bibledit-Gtk or Bibledit-Web. To make this work, do the following:
Install Bibledit-Web on your local computer or on the web.Point Bibledit-Gtk to Bibledit-Web, so that it knows where to send its focused reference. The location of Bibledit-Web can be entered in Bibledit-Gtk under menu Preferences - Reference exchange. If Bibledit-Web would be installed locally, one could enter the local website, e.g. http://localhost/bibledit.Install Bibledit-OnlineBible on your local computer. The installer is at http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/bibledit/binaries/, and is called bibledit-onlinebible-setup-1.1.exe.Point Bibledit-OnlineBible to Bibledit-Web. Once this has been done, it should work.
When if you change a reference, you will notice that the Online Bible starts, and that its desktop is empty. In the Online Bible, Open a Bible or press F6 to open a desktop, move Bibledit to another verse, and notice that the Online Bible scrolls along with Bibledit.
If Bibledit starts, stops, starts again, then the Online Bible desktop no longer can be restored through F6. The solution to this is not to use the standard "Online Bible Desktop", but to create and use your own.
BibleTime is a front-end for the Sword library.
Bibledit-BibleTime can retrieve the focused reference through Bibledit-Web, and then forward it to Xiphos. To make this work, do the following:

Entries can be made under Settings. Once the above has been done, sharing of focused references should work.
