If you wanted to present a word or a list of words, can you introduce it/them
with ここ？

For example, "Here is what happened yesterday..."

Or is it used just in the literal sense of a location?

Can ここ be used to present a list? Or is it only used for locations?
Can ここ be used to present a list?  
I don't think so.  
According to the dictionary, ここ can be used to express location or time:

"Here is what happened" is an English idiom that should not be translated
literally.

In the case of "Here is what happened yesterday..." I would say something
like:  
昨日の出来事は次の通りだ...

answer
In general, no, you cannot use ここ to translate English phrases like "Here you
go" and "Here are the details ...". You may use これ (lit. "this"), こちら (politer
version of これ), 以下 (lit. "the following"), etc., depending on what you want to
say.

But ここ can refer to some point within a discussion. ここで safely means "At this
point, (let's review ...)" or "Here, (X means ...)".
