Works in VS
So we'd need to fix it for VS Code to reach parity.
Milestone
Find All References allows previewing of the current results via clicking the search icon, but Peek References has this disabled because when we re-issue the Peek Reference and the cursor hasn't moved then the Peek Reference dialog box disappears. It's possible there might be a way to add some workaround? Let me know if anyone thinks they know how to fix this in the open source TypeScript -- the VS Code team is telling us they don't want us to implement "click to preview" and want to implement "streaming", but there's no ETA for that. See microsoft/vscode#77617 and microsoft/vscode#20010 .
UPDATE: The preview can be shown in the Output window as a "Confirmed Reference" -- related work needs to be done for Rename anyway.
There was also a minor bug where it would say "Confirmation in progress" if the peek window was closed instead of "Confirmation canceled".
