I've kicked around some ideas for this problem a while back. I think letting users define a "view" like this is a pretty good approach. I also think a reasonable default is to just pick the the N most popular (where "popular" means defined and non-empty) non-object/collection fields in the root document and display them in a table, then double-clicking or whatever on that row brings up the full document.
