Title:
  Dash - Preview activation doesn't have instant feedback

Bug description:
  When a Preview needs to fetch online data, it can take a moment before being displayed.
  After a click on a result, there is no visual feedback on what is happening and no way to know if the click has been acknoweldged by the Dash.

  This could be fixed in different ways:

  - Showing a spinner on the result icon.

  - Showing a spinner on the cursor.

  - Instantly opening the preview pane, with, as a transition :  the
  result icon on the left pane, the result title on the right, a spinner
  on top (the same as the one appearing when navigating between
  previews) and updating the content when the actual preview data is
  here.

  -----------------------------------
  Desired solution:

  When the user opens a preview that is not pre-chached, the preview
  should open instantly, and the content should then load into the
  already opened preview.  A spinner can be displayed in the place of
  the image to inform the user that the preview is loading.
