Description
The collections view displays post slugs, with no way to disable that.
I don't need to see the slugs for some collections; my blog posts have titles, so I'd like to just show that. I can show both title & slug, but that takes up a lot of space and makes it hard to fit other fields on screen too.
Please add an option to specify a field that will override the display text in the collections view.
I think this will also affect the search box, which seems to only search slugs, and not any other fields.

Research direction
Start by locating the collections view and the search-box implementation in the TypeScript application. Trace how the displayed slug and searchable fields are selected, then determine how a configurable override field should apply to both. Done means a collection can show a chosen field instead of its slug and that field is included in search behavior.
