Does the datatables format support templates? I love the features of the new format, but need to change the way it's displayed and how data is linked, like can be done with the listwidget format.
Feel free to add such feature, personally I have not planned to extend the current functionality.
If you do extend the format, please be aware that this format communicates solely through the SMW Api which means that any additional parsing/formatting has to use the MW Api [1].
