In particular we've had a community request to display a citation summary when focusing citation nodes.

We could list template values in order until we run out of room, but this may not lead to desirable results, for example the first parameter in {{Cite web}} is URL.

A more complex solution would be to come up with a format for defining how to generate the summary of a template and store it in template data, either as a value on the column (summary order):

Field     Desc  Summary order
url       ...   null
publisher ...   2
title     ...   1
date      ...   3
month     ...   null

A simplified version of this would just flag one field as being used in the summary.

etc.

Or as a string concatenation message somewhere:

"{{{title}}}, {{{publisher}}} - {{{date}}}"
