Well if you want only from "future" I don't know, but if instead you
want "the whole line containing
the match, as well as the whole of the next line"
":g/future.*ref.*\n.*\n/p 2" seems to give that result, and only if
there is a match (yes, I put "p 3" by mistake in the other mail).
Of course inelegant and inflexible, I don't know if there are better ways
