After clicking on the book, the list of verses should be a parallel list of the OT and NT verse(s).

For example, after clicking on Mark, Isa 40:3 should be listed next to Mk 1:2-3.

  A voice cries: 

              “In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD; 

  make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Is 40:3.

As it is written in Isaiah the prophet,

              “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, 

  who will prepare your way, 

        3       the voice of one crying in the wilderness: 

  ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, 

  make his paths straight,’ ”

The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Mk 1:2–3.

After clicking on the book, the list of verses should be a parallel list of the OT and NT verse(s).

I think that BBE should be able to provide a parallel list as the Search result does not permit parallel lists. But wouldn't you list the 73 verses in Mark then the verses in the OT e.g.

Target	Source	Type of Reference
Mark 1:2	Ex 23:20	Echo
	Mal 3:1	Allusion
Mark 1:3	Is 40:3	Citation
Mark 1:6	2 Ki 1:8	Allusion
	Zech 13:4	Allusion
Mark 1:11	Gen 22:2	Echo
	Ps 2:7	Allusion
	Is 42:1	Echo

Note that only Mk 1:3 is parallel to Is 40.3 (as Citation). Mark 1:2 is parallel to Ex 23:20 (as Echo) and Mal 3:1 (as Allusion). Mark as a book is parallel to 113 OT verses (18 in Isaiah) e.g.
