+A few peculiarities:
+- If the file is in a buffer already, it will be re-used.  This will allow for
+  editing the file while it's visible in the popup window.
+- No ATTENTION dialog will be used, since you can't edit the file in the popup

+  trigger the ATTENTION and responding "A" for Abort, the preview window will
