Just use module_name:key For strong's numbers, the way you do it is strong:G5200 (or maybe strongs:G5200). This will work better with the new strong's module. The TSK in beta uses this referencing in places. It is more with genbooks that the difficulty creeps in. I don't think I have time before BPBible 0.4 to put support in - not that it would be hard. I also have made a dictionary which needs support for this...
