Thanks for the response, @dfay. I do use subtitles for information about the items. What this top item is doing is information about the entire list of responses.
What I am doing is this: I have set up a system, backed up by a local database, where I can set up sets of contexts (people, projects, etc), and for which I can capture URLs, file links, and other bookmarkable paraphernalia. Now, for a given hub, all these possibilities are shown, plus other possibilities such as "Create an omnifocus project for this" (shown only if none exists), "Create a Devonthink group", etc. All the heavy lifting is done by python scripts, and Alfred's role is showing the responses and shuffling state around, and enabling the possibility of filtering down shown responses based on what I type in the box. The box real estate is thus at a premium, and I don't have space to show what item the responses are for (the python script gets it through variables, not through argv).
What I need, then, is a way to show a response at the top announcing "This is me!". Currently, I do have that, but it can be anywhere. A distinct icon helps me see it if it is in the top 9, but a little additional UI assistance from Alfred will help.
Hope that explains the strange request
