How does someone discover what format entities are and what they can choose from?

The website search doesn't find anything but Google points me to https://lldb.llvm.org/use/variable.html. Are they the same thing?

Obviously we wouldn't list them in this option description but if we have another option or command that does use them and does talk about them already, we could reference that.

Otherwise we don't have a good answer to "is there a format entity for X", just like we get asked "is there an API for Y", because finding API calls can be tricky if you don't know the project already.
