What about if extensions could register custom quick views? So that can be added previews for things like MathML, fonts, inline svg, css timing functions, ...

Maybe something like this:

var QuickViewManager = brackets.getModule("editor/QuickViewManager");

QuickViewManager.registerProvider({
    canOpen: function (document, cursorPosition) {
        if (/* canOpen */) {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    },
    open: function (document, cursorPosition) {
        return "<div>Html code to display in the popover</div>";
    }
});

The css timing functions inline editors provide a custom editor -- I think this would only work for non-editable views such as documentation.

"Quick View" is the name of the popover you see when you move mouse over certain items such as colors or images. Maybe "QuickDocsManager"?
