I have a concept for a custom UI component and I'm not quite sure where
to begin. A picture is worth a thousand words, so here's a link that
shows a rough illustration of what I'd like to do:

As you can see, it's for displaying and selecting verses from the bible
(or any organized text document) in a way that's easy to read (as
opposed to breaking up the individual verses in a NSTableView). The
selection could then be dragged and dropped, etc. Ideally, the
component would not require all the "verses" to be in memory at the
same time, but would "ask" a data source for them as they become
visible in a scroll view (kind of like an NSTableView does it).
I'm not sure what approach to take in the design of this component.
Should I be looking at subclassing an NSTextView? If someone could give
me some pointers or hints at some of the classes and methods I should
be looking at, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Or, if you think I should be considering other options, please let me
know. I've read most of the Cocoa text system docs but I need to get
some more clarity on the right path to take.
Thanks!
