The following is a quick comparison between Record Citation widget and Column Citation widget:
If you need to display the record data from a version to comply with a regulation, choose Record Citation.
If you want to display record data without much configuration, choose Column Citation.
Record Citation
You can use this widget to display the column data from another record. A typical use case is to display customer information when creating an invoice or quote.

Column Citation

Configuration:

2
"column__sid":"xxx",// optional, the ForeignKey column to load data.

// if Record is provided, the record will be used

"fields":[],// optional, list of field names or column sids
