Link from one Rise 360 course to another Rise 360 course

The branching options in Rise are a bit limited. You can use the button stack to branch to various lessons. Here's one way to do that where I had three distinct groups that I could branch to.

Here's a copy of the demo you can add to your Rise to see how it was set up.

That's probably not ideal for what you want to do. Generally, when you have a multi-course option, that's where a learning management system steps in. If you want to do a more controlled branching as you described, Storyline is the better option as it has  the feature set to do it the right way.

Thanks Tom! Using your example might actually work if I can use a button stack at anyplace in the course. For example, display content on a few screens before branching to (say) three lessons. Then converge all three lessons back into common content for a few screens before using the button stack to branch out again. 

Can you tell I'm inclined to put off the Storyline learning curve?

Unless I could "convert" all of the 16-lesson Rise 360 content into Storyline and just edit the branching!

Ideally, you'd build it in Storyline. However, if you have content in Rise currently, there is a way to integrate published Rise courses into Storyline where Storyline becomes the container and way to manage access to the courses. 

You do lose some tracking/reporting options. It just depends on your needs.

I'll put together a simple mock up to show one way to do it.

Here's tutorial to show how you could add Rise to Storyline.

Here's the published example. Don't click on box 1 as it has no link back option,

Thanks, again, Tom! You've given me quite a bit to think about ... and practice with. And I appreciate how quickly you responded to my questions.
