What if it's an image file? Would you not rather have a picture frame? If you're 
dropping a link to a webpage, would you want an icon, or a webbrowser plasmoid? For 
text files, wouldn't you prefer a note? Likewise, I think it makes sense to offer the 
previewer as an option. 

Remember, the Plasma desktop is not just a file-dump ...
