Yes, you just need to refer to items by their IDs (which are their
labels if no IDs are given),
items: [
{ label: "Homer Simpson",
children: [ "Bart Simpson", "Lisa Simpson", "Maggie Simpson" ]
},
{ label: "Lisa Simpson",
age: 7
}
]

You can use "value" (no dot in front). That evaluates to the ID of the item.

That's rather the browser's sensitivity, not Exhibit's. Exhibit "sees"
whatever the browser "sees".
