Dave Hooton made a good suggestion for finding Hebrew/Greek word pairs on the Logos newsgroup. He wrote:
3. The search results will show graphically where the words align in the bibles and where they do not!
Using a combination of a BHS/LXX collection and then linking texts, I can, however, take Logos one more step: Using Dave's suggestion, I created a collection composed of the BHS and the LXX. With this collection, I can conduct a search to see how often or not any Greek/Hebrew lemma is rendered by a certain Hebrew/Greek lemma.
What I did is ran an Advanced Search, use Textual Query with the parameters:
Here's what the results look like:
By linking up the LXX, BHS, English versions, and the Tov text, I can see fairly well how the words are related.

One more time... Greek/Hebrew/English in Logos
1. Define a collection with LXX and Hebrew bibles e.g. LXX, LHI (Lexham Hebrew) and Tov
2. Search the collection by verse, using the syntax
Hebrew-word OR Greek-word e.g. הִנֵּה OR ιδου
You can display the results in Greek or Hebrew (choose which bible to display).
You can export the results to a Verse List.
I'm still not seeing a way to generate the kind of list that BW7 does for finding all the ways a Hebrew word is translated in the LXX or all the Hebrew words that a LXX Greek word is used to translate.
For example, I want to find all the times that the Greek lemma λειπω with any prefix is translating a form of the Hebrew עזב and conversely anytime a form of עזב is translated with a form of λειπω.
lemma:({el}*λειπω{/}) OR lemma:marks({he}marks(עזב){/})
and used my Resource Collection and looked by Bible Verse.
