You might want to check out Louw and Nida "Greek-English Lexicon of the NT 
based on Semantic Domains".  It is two volumes, one being an index.  The 
entries in the index are like this:

  ANABAINW
  a.  go up ............. 15.101
  b.  go aboard ......... 15.99
  c.  sprout and grow ... 23.196
  d.  grow up ........... 23.189
  ANABAINW : unit
  ANABAINW EPI KARDIAN ..
    begin to think ...... 30.17

In other words, idioms are listed directly in the index.

       Every Christian library should have a plaque which states:
              "There is one book which explains all these."
