Ok, I would like to comment that I found a very easy way to do this.
There is a function:

     Plasma::WindowEffects::showWindowThumbnails

in order to show previews of any windows you want in a window you want.
It works like a charm when the plasmoid is placed in the dashboard or in 
the desktop.

1)The only thing is that I cant find is the offset that is added in a 
plasmoid because of
the plasma theme. There is chance to disable the plasma theme for that 
plasmoid if
I dont find a solution.

2)About perfomance I havent noticed any drawbacks I can even say that is 
more
light that PresentWindows effect because it shows less windows.

3)When the plasmoid is placed in a panel and it is shown through the 
extender()
the previews are behind the popup but I believe that there is a chance that
is a matter of plasmoid's popup implementation.

Regards,
Michail
