You can do it now with no modifications to bibletime.  The
implementation is however a bit crude.

Open a Bible that has Strong's numbers like KJV or GerLut
Open Strongs or copy the strongs tag from the text.
enter the tag in this format <05774> in the searched text field of the
search dialog and do the search.  I get 29 results.

If anyone thinks this is useful I will add it to the handbook.

To add some polish there does not seem to be much use to putting a
feature in Strong's to find all of this Strong's number in module XXX. 
You could add a  dropdown menu item on a tag to search and find all
instances of this tag.  The function would launch the search dialog and
copy the tag into the search text field.  Should I make this a feature
request?
