Reports and Annotated Bibliographies

I'm trying to make use of the Reports capability and also to create a CSL format for an annotated bibliography.
Not being a CSS master, doing some special formatting to create/customize a CSL format. Maybe I'll get that figured out, but if someone can tell me a quick and easy way to add text style formatting for the prefix in a line like:
text variable="abstract" display="block" prefix="  Abstract:  "
... then that would be very helpful. I just want to bold or italic the prefix.

Also, an observation on the Reports function. Someone please rid the display of the table formatting, which adds complexity when someone just wants to copy and paste the output into a .docx or .rtf word processor. It's like cleaning up a dog's breakfast. How about a report option at list to just display flush left text (e.g. label: text) with just the basic text formatting commonly found in a citation (like italics for titles).
It's great to have a report that pulls stuff like document notes.

But having said that does anyone know of a way to add the same ability found in the record(s) Report to pull document notes using a CSL script? To be able to add the document notes to a bibliography.

    <text value="Abstract: " font-weight="bold"/>
    <text variable="abstract"/>
    </group>
