for example:
a.exhibit-item {font-size:larger; font-weight: bold;}

That is correct, the "value" indicates that the whole json item should
go in that column and by setting the format to just "item", the
default way to display a json item is used, which is to print the
".label". Because an json item is displayed in the column, Exhibit
automatically makes it into a link that opens the default lens.

columnFormats indeed formats the table columns. As stated above "item"
by itself uses the default display format for json items, so it is
equivalent to:" item {title:expression(.label)}".

There is no difference.
