Mac. was there a link to a wall mounted centering device? I'd like to look
at it, but I don't see the link.

Yep.. from Lee Valley, of course..

Ok for spindle work, but sort of useless for bowls, IMO..

Regardiong the center in this link, it looks to me like it must be held by
the closed jaws, so it would mark the work, but not center it. Am I seeing
it right?

yep.. I probably misunderstood the OP..
Sounded like he wanted a pointy thing in his chuck, with the chuck lying flat on
a bench, so he could mark center??

I've been using the same $3 plastic center finder for years, with a spring
punch..
