Hi Chris,
How's your scripting? There isn't a feature for that in Exhibit that I
know of, you'll have to implement your own solution.
If Javascript isn't your favorite, and if it's not too much work for you
to generate data, perhaps you can add a new property
fileReferencesExcerpt to your JSON generation pipeline that does the
selection of N items before Exhibit ever receives data.
Otherwise we're talking about adding a new Exhibit expression, or a new
Exhibit importer that does the selecting of N items into a new property
at load time, or a completely separate script that truncates Exhibit's
output; and I'm sure there are other possibilities.
