How can I use Context to change the way Contacts are displayed in Odoo 19?

Question

Sometimes I see Contacts shown like this:

Other times like this:
Image [2]

How does this work and what options do I have to control how they are shown?

There are several Context keys available that change how Partner information via a Many2one is shown:
Context%20Partner%20Name [1]

Remember that you define or override the Field and provide a Context dictionary like this:
<field name="partner_id"
context="{'show_email': True}"/>
