One way to do it might be this: Popup the preview immediately when the
user presses the button. When the mouse is moved with button1 down by
more than a few pixels, pop down the preview and enter dnd-mode. If the
user doesn't move the mouse (by more than a few pixels) pop down when
the user releases the button.

I use this technique to distinguish between clicks and drags in Sketch
and it works quite well.
