Image previews with vifm on Wayland?
swayimg was also mentioned, but it seems to be a viewer (i.e., expects user's input) rather than a previewer which is needed here, but maybe there is a way to use it with some inconvenience. It does suggest that something like Ueberzug can be implemented for Wayland.
