Wanting to do a label search

As I study certain passages of scripture, I label the text for different themes. So I have for example themes like God, Man, Sin etc. Then each theme has different attributes like: God is eternal, God is life, God is almighty etc.

After I have labeled the passage I'd like to make a search that summarizes for me for example what themes that passage talks about, or even further specialized, what 'label attributes' for the theme of God the text contains. Here is what I'd like to see:

Search all Bible Text in Genesis 39 for:
{Label Bible Themes}

vGod
      God is eternal
      God is life

>Man

>Sin

    To search for all God themes:

    {Label Bible Themes WHERE God}

    for a specific theme use:

    {Label Bible Themes WHERE God ~eternal}    ---> where the value contains "eternal".

    If you want the exact value use:

    {Label Bible Themes WHERE God = "God is eternal"}  ---> assuming text values

    Restrict the search to a passage using:-

    {Label Bible Themes WHERE God ~eternal}  WITHIN {Milestone <Bible Gen 39>}

    Right! All of these give me the verses that are labeled. I don't want to find the individual VERSES though. Rather, I want at one glance to be able to see what LABELS I have given a certain passage. So I want my search result to be a list of labels or attributes of a particular label.

    That's not possible at the moment.

    The Information tool and the Right Click Context Menu now show all the labels in a given selection, if that helps.

    Excellent! Thank you. Right Click Context Menu works very well. But I don't know how I can get it to show in the information tool since that tool seems to be word sensitive. Just selecting a passage does not produce any results.

    Do you have "Labels" selected in "Other References"?

    If so the Labels should show when you click on the passage containing the label

    Yes, I do have labels selected. I just don't know how I click on a "passage". Whenever I click, it only shows the label associated with the word I click on. As far as I know the Information tool does not show Information across several verses, right?

    I see what you mean - sorry, I had missed that point.

    That's what I meant when I said "it's not possible". You can show the information for one verse, but not across many verses, or through a search.

    It IS possible with the Right Click Context Menu, as Eli suggested. But the Information Tool does not work for this purpose.
