--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
Not opposed on principle, but how could it be implemented?

Realistically for NB, SB or a menu/button control each "animation" or "preview"
is going to require spin up of an ODF mini-viewer to parse the content and then
render to a pop-out app frame positioned within the UI.

Unlike WinUI 2/3 API which provides MSO with native calls, this would require a
lot of dev effort as the current LO API does not support it.

Who's going to implement? Is there really that much value to chasing such
eye-candy? Would rather efforts go toward major weakness in the core UI, e.g.
Full screen UX, the Formula Editor, or even the Base DB implementation.
