Thank you for the feedback & tip, David. In my case I often 
need only to take a peek at the code of some previous 
formula, eg to see which macro I used to produce a 
particular symbol (I have a very short memory). That's why 
to push only a button to quickly toggle on/off would be useful.

As a temporary solution I'm making a function that does a 
backward or forward regexp-search to the beginning of any 
inline or display math (like "\\begin{\(eq\|al\|ga\)" or 
"\\(" etc), so as to automatically toggle the preview as the 
search cycles. This way I can cyclically open them and come 
back at point by quitting the search.

Cheers,
J
