Summary: Inconsistent behavior when clicking on Bible Reference links

Initial Comment:
I am running BibleTimesvnr1823 on WindowsXP

I'm doing some experimenting with Bible reference links that contain multiple references.
I understand that a particular text may be tagged in a way that is inconsistent and can cause behavior differences in BibleTime.  However, I believe I've found some examples where BibleTime does not properly handle Bible Reference links.

First example :
Abbott Commentary @ Matthew 1:1 - There is a link with the text 'Luke 5:27, 29,'  When I hover over this link the Mag tools display the correct references, that is, Luke 5:27 and Luke 5:29.  However, if I click on this link then two Bible windows are opened both of them are at Luke 5:27.  

The Problem:
  One window should be Luke 5:27 and the other should be Luke 5:29. If the mag tool can display the correct references then BibleTime should be able to open the windows to the correct points.

Ideally, I would want only one Bible window to open and the verses should be clearly indicated (by indicated I mean they should be highlighted, have a star next to them or use some other means to point them out from the rest of the text)

I will download the source to the Abbott commentary and look at this link. Perhaps this will shed some light on the problem.

Verse ranges aren't that simple. They'd require a big refactoring.

Message:
How much a deal would it be for display windows to show verse ranges such
as Lk 1:2-4 or "Lk 1:2; Lk 4:3" ?  The mag viewer does this to a certain
degree, right?  If the display windows can do this too, then we just show
the list of keys in that window.
