Not certain I am parsing either of your questions correctly, but:

You can make each code the id of an item whose label is the pretty
name:
{type: "participant",
id: "HOL04",
label: "John Hollins"}
then the label instead of the id will be used in the facet

It is possible to create a lens inside a tabular view, where you
specify what goes into the cells of a table row. In this case, the
contents of the cell do not need to have any relation to the
ex:columns attribute. So it sounds like in your case you want to
create a table where the ex:column contains 'date" but the cell
contains the "label". Here's part of an example from one of my
exhibits; see the <table> tag inside the tabular view? That's how you
create a lens. This table displays a full name in column 1 but when
you click on column heading one it sorts by lastname.
<div ex:role="view"
ex:viewClass="TabularView"
ex:label = "Table"
ex:columns =
".lastName, .grade, .pNames, .city, .phone, .fEm
ail"
ex:columnLabels="Name (sort by last), Grade,
Address (sort by city), Phone,
Parents, Emai
l"
ex:sortColumn=0>
<table style="display: none;">
<tr>
<td><span ex:content=".label"></span></td>
<td><span ex:content=".grade"></span></td>
