no this would require streaming support
witch lib-torrent doesn't have nor should it as it causes massive issues for the swarm

Qbt already has a "Preview File" option if you right click a torrent. It also launches the file if you double click it in the "contents" tab.

What the OP wants is to add this possibility when a user double-clicks a torrent from the list. Namely to add it as a choice in Tools->Options...->Behavior->Transfer List->Action on double-click

I think he meant preview as in instruct the swarm to fill in the first dozen or so blocks so the file is playable
(assuming its a media file)
you can sorta cheat by downloading first/last piece first but that doesn't always work

As I said this functionality already exists in qbt.
OP just wants another way of exposing it.

Exactly what sledgehammer999 said, the option always exists by right clicking the file and cliking Preview file...
I'd like to be able to set that as default when I double click a torrent.

Right now I set open the destination folder when double clicking a torrent then manually clicking on that file, would be nice to sideskip that step.
