I don't have any plans to add previewing to org-exp-blocks, however
there is an alternative.

Org-babel provides for the evaluation and viewing of the results of
blocks in Org-mode documents.  As such, it is possible to use Org-babel
to preview the output of blocks.  For example, with Org-babel installed
[1] calling C-c C-c on the following block will evaluate the block
placing a link to the resulting file into the Org-mode document.
Subsequently calling C-c C-o with the point on the block will find the
link and open it previewing the image.

|    |    |
+----+----+
#+end_src
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Hopefully in the near future Org-babel should be stable enough to
justify an initial release, which should include an instructional page
on worg.
