Picture preview for image textures in node editor

Depending where you get images textures they may have long weird names and sometimes i don't rename them. So if i drag in a height, base color, roughness etc at the same time it would be handy to have picture previews to quickly identify what node is what image. Like in unreal engine 4. See screenshot for example.

Yeah, this is a highly requested feature and is on the radar of the developers.

Currently, the way that Blender node system works, it doesn't cache in between results and shows you the output, so they are/will be working on a cache system.
