If you search this list for "virtual modules" you will find similar ideas. They haven't gone anywhere. http://www.crosswire.org/pipermail/sword-devel/2006-January/023142.html http://www.crosswire.org/pipermail/sword-devel/2006-January/023195.html The fundamental idea of these is that while cross-references, notes, strong's numbers, morphology, divineName, ... are related to specific words and phrases, they are also related specific verses. It should be possible to search a Bible having the one, and apply it to the other. In JSword, our Lucene index holds cross-references such that they can be searched with xref:"Genesis 1:1" (Where the verse reference can be anything that JSword can parse into an OSIS ref.) This will find all the verses that have cross references to Gen 1:1. We plan on adding this kind of feature to Bible Desktop. I hadn't visualized at all like how you described it, but I think it is wonderful. The trick would be to figure out which installed modules that the user would find useful. Sword currently does not index cross-references. It would be a useful addition.
