gutter-preview | Shows image preview in the gutter and on hover

e.g. I write a markdown document and include a line like [myimage](/mypath.jpg) to see the image in a big size above or below this line.

When I'm writing markdown I regularly have to look at an embedded file. At the moment I have to use a split layout and switch my attention between the text buffer and the preview. That's slowing me down and distracting.

What I mean is a full size preview that can fill the whole width of the buffer and is permanently shown. This is offered by the emacs markdown-mode (see this image with a command named "markdown-toggle-inline-images".). This is also available in sublime text e.g. via an add-on named sublime_zk. This is possible in atom with add-ons like preview-inline or inline markdown images.

This would allow to use VSCode like a WYSIWYG md-editor like typora but with all the benefits of using your daily edtior. This should also be interesting for programmers - at least on hackernews typora is regularly praised as the best markdown editor (see e.g. here)

I didn't see an addon for this. Something related was discussed about two years ago in issue 7689 - but this only concerns a mini preview in the gutter or if you move the mouse over a link. For this there is already the add-on Image preview.
