Not so much. If you interested in chords then I would suggest couple jazz books:

Mimi Fox - Arpeggios Studies over Jazz Standards

First chapter has great list of arpeggios over all type of chords in several positions. Maybe a bit off your current path - rest of the book covers several jazz standards.

Joe Pass - Guitar Chords

I like coming back to this one because it has chord charts and note degrees (root, 5th, flat 7th etc) listed on diagrams but NO chord names so you have to figure out precise name (Cm7b5 etc). Good opportunity to practice.

There are also numerous chord related apps but easiest way is to learn how chords are constructed and then make them up on a fly. In most cases when you play with bass player you can omit root and 5th so typically all you need is 3rd, 7th and extensions - in most cases you can play 4 note chords and it works.

Listening to music, be it jazz, classical or whatever you are interested in, is important. You'll pick up a lot just by being immersed in the music.

What I'm doing these days is playing and learning tunes. You can pick up a lot by seeing how the great songwriters put together melodies and harmonies, and you get practice playing single lines, chord progressions -- and learn songs you can play for people at the same time.

This is the fake book I'm using: https://www.amazon.com/Real-Little-Ultimate-Jazz-Fake/dp/0793520053/

I don't think it's any better or worse than the others, but I like that it has lyrics. I recommend listening to the tunes you are learning -- both by singers and instrumentalists.

As far as instruction books go, right now I'm using Joe Pass Chords https://www.amazon.com/Joe-Pass-Guitar-Chords-Progressions/dp/0739019333/

That and the fake book are pretty much it. I have tons of other jazz guitar method books, but I'm just not using them right now. It's all about playing tunes.
