Quickly generate asset thumbnails from Viewport Render Image

Add an eye-dropper to the side panel of the Asset Browser.

Click the eyedropper then click a 3d viewport to execute a "Viewport Render Image" and automatically save it as the preview image of the selected asset.

There is an addon that already sort of does this: youtu.be/bewM1-NVac4

Taking inspiration from the outliner's ability to change the tab in the properties editor automatically: maybe if there is a single 3d viewport adjacent to an Asset Library editor, that eyedropper can change to a "refresh" button that automatically uses the adjacent 3d viewport to generate the image.

If an image editor is open, allow drag-drop of the image icon from the top bar of that editor over to the preview image box in the asset library editor.

Additionally, make it support clicking in the image editor.
