Description
The examples on the custom listing page use name and href as fields, however for regular default/grid/table to pick them up is unclear if/how:
- name should not be used, better to use title (which is picked up by default/grid/table)
- href seems not picked up in any default/grid/table, none of the fields is linked, even when combined with field-links
Based on this my impression is that populating a listing with metdata items only works with custom list templates?

Research direction
Start with the linked custom listing page and reproduce its metadata examples using the default, grid, and table listing templates. Verify how the title/name and href fields behave, including with field-links; done means the documentation or expected behavior clearly explains whether custom templates are required.
