In some way, presentation can be viewed as export - if you only display
things selectively. So, :exports header argument may indeed be used.
Or you can use a custom header argument...

For example, you can use ox-org exporter.
Or you can pass PARAMS argument to `org-babel-execute-src-block' to
override :results header argument value.
