Trigger PowerToys Peek?

I know XYplorer has it's own preview window popup, but I enjoy the PowerToys implementation a bit more. Does anyone have a way to trigger Peek through XYplorer and then navigate the list/preview (up/down)? I've located the Peek exe and tried passing images to it via cmd prompt but no luck. There has to be a way to trigger it outside of Explorer...

Probably not. Seems like it gets the current file via COM from Windows Explorer.

Maybe take a look at QuickLook: https://github.com/QL-Win/QuickLook

It would work (= I could make it work) if you could pass it a target window handle.

QuickLook doesn't work within XYplorer neither.
I'm using mouse down blow up now, but I do prefer QuickLook's preview style.

Hi guys! Peek is really doing a good job on some previews with very fast and responsible handlers...

any chance to make this integration work? Would AHK help?

More easily with achievable through an xyplorer solution or should I plead on the PowerToys develop foruns?

Thanks !!

Obs: powertoys is continuosly improving and have a lot of great features..it would be great to have these integration out of the box
