We're trying to add that to JSword and its front-ends. To date both SWORD and JSword are verse-by-verse retrieval engines. This makes it hard to do in the engine. JSword after converting the module content to OSIS adds the <verse> element around the verse. This is used to render the verse number. If it were a linked range, it would show up properly. There are other problems that need to be addressed, such as parallel, tabular view of such linking.
