David,

At the moment, there's no easy way to do this. There might be a short term
solution in the form of an arbitrary HTML prepend that could be configured
in hosts.cfg (DISPLAYPREFIX:"html here" ?) but it'd be something of a
hack. Do you think that would work for you?

Longer term, the goal would be to make things like this CSS-controlled,
and either reflective of a list relationship between "host 1" and "switch
1/2" in your example, or making all switches a 'type' that can then be CSS
controlled. The stripping out of display HTML is on the radar for 4.4, but
there's still additional work needing to be done.
