Description

@schrmh

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There should be an option to get high-quality previews/images.

Describe the solution you'd like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixel
https://github.com/libsixel/libsixel
SIXEL is old but got support in a bunch of more modern terminal emulators during the last few years. And with mpv a well-known application implemented SIXEL as an output option.

Describe alternatives you've considered
There is no alternative I consider at this point. A few terminal emulators like iTerm and Kitty have their own graphics protocol; those might become relevant enough in the future.
