cross refernces for Greek New Testaments

I can’t believe that I am writing this.
I have a print Greek New Testament. It has cross references and an index of references to the Septuagint.
I need/want to find all the places in the New Testament that alludes to or quotes the Old Testament, specifically the book of Genesis. Apparently I can’t do that in Logos. I have to do that by hand from a print Bible.
Am I the first person who ever wanted to do this?
So my suggestion: reproduce the cross references and indices in the Greek New Testaments.
Thank you

Larry, there is an interactive resource that you may already own called "New Testament Use of the Old Testament". You can filter by books of the Bible (e.g. Genesis) and from there filter even further by whether it's a quote, an allusion, an echo, or a citation.0

@Kyle G. Anderson thank you. I will look at this. A lot of cross references are also within the New Testament, so that is essential. Why should I have to go to an English Bible to look up cross references?0

@Kyle G. Anderson I am in the interactive. I see no way to copy, paste, or send anything anywhere. I haven't started working with this yet, but it certainly seems to be what I am looking for. I do wonder right now how deep, if that's the right word, this goes. Would people disagree if a passage is a true hit?0

@Kyle G. Anderson Hi Kyle I just stated working on my project. The very first verse, my print Greek Testament links John 1;1 to Genesis 1;1. Logos Interactive does not. So that means there are some untold number of other verbal allusions that Logos is not accepting. Maybe a few words are not enough to make a connection. I think any memorable, major words or phrases should make the cut. So I still have to do this the old fashioned way. Logos needs to make the cross referecnes and indices searchable. Please. Thank you0
