SMW supports the printout of additional data for each result of a semantic query. However, there are hardly any means to control the appearance of those printouts (e.g. to set a limit of values to be displayed, or to define the separator to be used).

To allow more control of this part of query display, someone needs to propose how the user should enter these additional details. The current syntax of printouts is:

?property#unit = label

where the "#unit" and " = label" parts are optional. "property" could also be a category or other type of input. The problem is that this general form already precludes the use of most symbols. For instance, you could no write

?property (limit=10)

to set a limit for the results of this printout, since it is possible that a property page really is called "property (limit=10)". Until there is a proposal for this, no progress on allowing more parameters can be made.
