What you need to do is declare the value type of the property (in that
column) to be "item". So you data file will look something like this,
if, say, your data is about products and manufacturers:
{
items: [
{ "label": "Segway",
"type" : "Product",
"manufactured-by" : "Segway Inc.",
"sold-at" : "Walmart"
},
{ "label": "Segway Inc.",
"type": "Company"
},
{ "label": "Walmart",
"type": "Company"
}
],
properties: {
"manufactured-by" : {
valueType: "item"
},
"sold-at" : {
valueType: "item"
}
}
}

Many lens templates can be defined for different item types, e.g.,
<div ex:role="exhibit-lens" ex:itemTypes="Product"> ... </div>
<div ex:role="exhibit-lens" ex:itemTypes="Company"> ... </div>
Version 2.0 will be more flexible.
Hope that helps,
David
