I wantd to customize the entities on the area card, but you can't (yet, presumably).
Any workarounds right now?
- can set name
- the card is clickable (so I can link to a subview)
- has customizable entities
#Is there a way to re-create the areas card, but customize the entities?

Area card does list exclude entities, so you might be able to customize that way:

When it comes to "making or customizing" cards, I like using the custom:button-card. Something that is nice about it is its ability to "embed" other cards into it using custom_fields.
For example, this is an oversized button-card that I use on a tablet. Tap to toggle, press-and-hold to enable Automatic lights (which also makes the Automatic appear). Timer next to Automatic is a card-modded Entities card that shows the countdown of a timer entity. Custom_fields on the right show how long the light has been on and its current color_temp or color. The green bar at the bottom is a timer-bar-card that also shows the timer countdown (which is kind of redundant since I also show the countdown at the top but I like them both).
It may not be as convenient to set up as the Areas card but you can just about get it to show whatever you want.
- the card is clickable (so I can link to a subview)
With the custom:button-card, you can overlay cards over top of others. So you can make buttons within buttons. Or, set an overlay that covers the entire card that is not clickable (such as a Markdown card) and the overlay itself will be clickable. Just set its z-index to be the highest card and make it transparent.
browser_mod pop-ups are an alternative to subviews.
