Bible Book Explorer - Intertext

I really like the intertext feature on the bible books explorer, visually its just appealing to me.  But, I can't seem to figure out how to make it show both locations of a citation.  

For example, if select Romans and narrow my search criteria to citation only, I get 66 results. If I change the view to grid mode in the search bar, I can count easily enough that 19 of those citations are from Isaiah, but it's not quick to see where in Romans Paul cited each of those verses.  Clicking on Isaiah will tell me which verses in Roman, but still doesn't show both places together for quick reference.   

This seems like a function the Bible books explorer would have, but i can't figure out how to show that.  I would greatly appreciate any input.  Thanks!

    It isn't a one-to-one relationship  e.g. Ro 3:15-17 is cited from Is 59:7-8 when you consult the bible via the Search results (each verse is listed separately in the Search results). So it would be very difficult to have a graph show that relationship, especially as Is 59:7,8 could be cited by other passages in Romans.

    That function is usually handled by multi-level datamining software. The Bible Book Explorer is intended as a high level overview not a datamining detail. The data you want is available via a search.

    I am new to Logos running version 10. Can you provide a link that explains how to use multi-level data mining search? I was too disappointed that Bible Explorer did not map which verses cited which verses across books

    I was trying to say that Logos does not provide multi-level data mining. Software that does Data Mining: What it is and why it matters | SAS. However, the Bible Book Explorer does provide the references when you click on the ring.
