(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved at the time.) The principle author of preview-latex is inactive for some time now, so the package is in sort of maintenance mode. So unless someone else provides a complete patch, this feature will not get implemented, unfortunately. Therefore I'm closing this report. We can reopen this if the situation changes. > Preview and AUCTeX are great, thank you so much to all of you! Thank your for the kind words.
