But that doesn't answer the question.
If you select multiple components, they may have different preview
states. So if the selection contains both hidden and visible
components, should the menu be checked or not? Should the preview be
toggled for all of them, or switched on/off for all of them? What
happens if you open the menu of a non-selected component? And, once we
make Preview a selection wide menu item, what about Name, Matching
algorithm, Disconnect All etc. etc.

I think the menu should stick to being the representation of a single
component.

Luckily there are other options. I can add a button to the toolbar for
example which will toggle/disable/enable preview states for all
selected objects. It's slightly less hidden than the menu item and
easier to remember than the Ctrl+Shift+Q Vulcan nerve pinch.
