All fair points, don't disagree. I'm thinking at the simplest would it be
possible just to have a QML widget that receives the path/URI to the file in
question, and can then render what it wants from that? Possibly file metadata
too, but that could be looked up independently. 

The media preview in the details panel is a really nice feature, and to me that
seems in a similar vein to this request - I could just right-click and
open-with mpv or VLC or whatever, but for me it's proven to be a really useful
feature, and I'm not sure how many people requested it initially and haven't
seen anything similar in another file manager - but it is nice to have. 

Whilst "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" on that panel, it seems like it could
be worked into a (built-in) plugin in a similar way, taking the current UI into
QML and providing a way for it to hook entries into the menu bar for
enabling/disabling it.
