Include target verse in searches from Bible Book Explorer

Yes it's a beautiful interactive, but once you get past how pretty it is, it's limited (at least as far as I can tell). For example, starting with the Intertext chart for Allusions, double clicking Ephesians on the ring generates a report with 37 resulting verses from the following search.
{Label Intertext WHERE Target ~ <Bible Eph> AND Relationship ~ "Allusion"}
Since I'm studying Eph 6, I modified the search "...Target ~ <Bible Eph6>..." and after a good long wait, it comes back with 17 verses.
I'm interested in allusions to the Armor of God so I further modify the search to "...Target ~ <Bible Eph 6:10-18>" which finds 6 verses in Ps, Is and Na.
Since my target is only 8 versus, it's not hard for me to figure out which versus in Eph allude to those OT verses, but it would be very nice if the corresponding target verse was listed next to the search results.
I thought maybe it would be under analysis but unfortunately not.
On a side note, there are a lot of columns available under analysis, most of them make little sense for a search of this kind. It would be much more user friendly if the list of columns available by right clicking column heading would stay open so I could select/deselect multiple columns at once rather than having to right click to open the drop down for each and every selection.

I suppose this is really a suggestion for search results rather than Bible Book Browser but the ability to display refine the search and display the target verse would make the lovely chord diagram so much more functional for in depth study rather than just a fun and pretty interactive.
I see others have suggested adding OT use of OT and NT use of NT to the Bible Book Explorer. That would be great but I suspect the chord diagram would be challenging to read with all those lines looping back rather than crossing the circle. Still, I'm sure something could be done to clean it up. Perhaps remove the NT from the ring for OT/OT and remove the NT from the ring for NT/NT.
I think someone may have also posted about including citations and allusions to other ancient texts (e.g., Enoch).0
