If
Plasma::ToolTip* is on the scripting roadmap:
http://community.kde.org/Plasma/PlasmoidScripting#Tooltips
that could bring window thumbnails in tooltips at least. as for general
thumbnails, that sounds like something much more suited for a DataEngine or a
Service. the biggest problem with that is it requires a top level window id
(e.g.a Plasma::View or even a regular QWidget) and a region inside of it. i'm
not keen on exposing that to the Javascript API, but it should be possible to
go from a geometry in the plasmoid's coords to a set of global coords in a top
level view. still, i don't think this belongs in the actual JS API as its far
too specific to a given use case. a plugin approach, via DataEngine and/or
Service, seems more sensible.

no, it would be a new feature and 4.6 is way, way, way too close to add
something like this. we're trying to be half-way careful with the API :)
however, if done with a DataEngine/Service, one doesn't have to wait at all
and it would even be available for past releases.
