Preview of block-items in admin UI

[patrickpotthoff]

We mainly use block elements to fill our websites with content. Over time, of course, you have a large number of different block elements. At this point, for example, you don't always know what a block element looks like.

What do you think about the possibility to show a short preview of the block element? For example in the form of a small magnifying glass icon inside the block, where a mouse over opens a small modal window with a screenshot or something similar to this block. This image could possibly be specified via the .xml as well, similar to <info_text> within the meta information. Of course just optional.

I think that would just help if you don't maintain the website yourself, but the client does.
I hope you can imagine what I mean.

What do you think about such an idea?

We have the same problem and also thought that a preview would be a solution. I will try to implement it. Here is an example from the Neos CMS.
