Feature Request

Suppose you are previewing foo.typ. I want to be able to quickly preview bar.typ by clicking on the bar.typ source code.

Use Case

I have a project where I have several typst files that produce separate PDF files. I would like to be able to switch between the different files quickly. This behavior is similar to how Markdown Preview Enhanced works.

I agree this sounds useful in your case but typst-preview works very different from markdown preview. It is much more heavy than that. Namely, each preview panel need a preview server, and each sever launch multiple threads and typst compiler.

Another thing is that not all typst source file is preview-able. So user may see a lot of empty panel when editing these files. This can be unexpected for certain cases
