Add image preview on hover in tables

It would be nice to have a on hover preview of the image column.
In my example I've a table with an image column:

Images are too small in my example, so it would be nice to see a bigger preview on hover so the user can see the product.

Hi @drenda
There's a request for bigger images:

Thanks for pointing out. In my case I would suggest an on hower big preview rather than bigger images inside the table. In fact for my case, to see different details of the product is needed a preview; a bigger image in the table would not resolve the problem and it would make the entire table really ugly.

Thanks

@drenda It is possible to create a Click Behavior, which opens the image in a new tab:

It might require a little hacking depending on how your link is generated, since you might be hitting this:

But you are welcome to create a feature request on Github about hovering and see if it has any traction.

Thanks again for detailed reply. I already tried to open the image in a new tab and in fact I hit the "bug" you linked me.
However I think hovering would offer a better UX to users.

@drenda All feature requests and bugs are tracked on Github.
