Ivan,
Exhibit has a feature where you can cause a particular item to be shown
when the page is loaded, e.g.,
http://simile.mit.edu/exhibit/examples/presidents/presidents-2.html#Abraham%20Lincoln
You can do this in a lens template:
<div ex:role="lens"...>
...
<span ex:role="control" ex:control="item-link"></span>
...
</div>
That should generate a link for that particular item. And then you can
use CSS to turn off everything except for the class
"exhibit-focusDialog", e.g.
<body>
<div id="everything">
... all content goes here ...
</div>
<!-- a div.exhibit-focusDialog will be inserted here -->
</body>
Let me know if that works.
