It doesn't do anything right now. :-) We were planning to put something
in it in the future. But that might not happen.

That's not possible right now. We're planning to make Exhibit support
more flexible layouts. Stay tuned.

You can use this in your lens template
<span ex:control="item-link"></span>

Watch out-- Exhibit is case-sensitive: "ex:showall" should be "ex:showAll".

I see... you need to assign them different IDs, e.g.,
{ type: "Person",
label: "John Doe",
id: "John Doe #1",
...
},
{ type: "Person",
label: "John Doe",
id: "John Doe #2",
...
}
When an item doesn't have an ID explicitly specified in the data file,
its ID is the same as its label.
The "show duplicates" thing is misleading and will be removed.

I see my auto-magic layout doesn't work... You can have total control of
the time line--see this wiki page and this email thread
