Notes: Link notes on words to Greek/Hebrew so they can show up in all translations

Currently, when I create a note attached to a word in a particular Bible translation, that note is tied to that translation and cannot be viewed in other translations. My suggestion is that since the texts are linked by the Greek/Hebrew text, that link be used to surface the notes made in one translation in another translation.
For example, if I'm looking at Romans 1:28 in the KJV and ESV, I see this:
KJV: "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a ★reprobate mind, to do those things which are not ★convenient."
ESV: "And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done."
The note behind the two stars are respectively the following:
"'reprobate' = unqualified, disqualified, castaway, rejected, debased"
"'convenient' = fitting or proper (a technical phrase of the Stoic philosophy)"
It seems like it should be possible to have these notes show up in the ESV on the words "reprobate" and "ought" as well.
