In this screenshot, お見事 shows two related terms 見事 1 and 見事 2, but they appear to be identical. I wonder if this is the desired behavior? Perhaps it is a redundancy in the dictionary data?

That's how JMDict lists them:

<entry>
<ent_seq>2235980</ent_seq>
<k_ele>
<keb>お見事</keb>
</k_ele>
<k_ele>
<keb>お美事</keb>
</k_ele>
<r_ele>
<reb>おみごと</reb>
</r_ele>

<upd_date>2007-11-18</upd_date>

<pos>&int;</pos>
<xref>見事・1</xref>
<xref>見事・2</xref>
<gloss>well done!</gloss>
<gloss>bravo</gloss>
</sense>
</entry>

Quoting the documentation of the xref element:

This element is used to indicate a cross-reference to another
entry with a similar or related meaning or sense. The content of
this element is typically a keb or reb element in another entry. In some
cases a keb will be followed by a reb and/or a sense number to provide
a precise target for the cross-reference. Where this happens, a JIS
"centre-dot" (0x2126) is placed between the components of the
cross-reference.

So, the dot reference targets both first reading, and second reading. If there is some way how this can be improved, please let me know.

Here is a screenshot after tapping the related terms link. Maybe when the references point to the same dictionary entry, the entry could be listed only once, instead of twice as seen here?

Alternatively, it would be neat to somehow highlight the specific sense or senses that are targeted (in this case I guess that would be 1:"splendid, magnificent..." and 2:"praiseworthy act..." but not 3:"utter (esp. defeat)...". But I'm not sure how exactly that would work.

Unfortunately, it is currently impossible to target a particular kanji or particular reading in an entry. I will thus make sure that the entry will appear only once
