There is no support for this in TortoiseHg.
The best you can do is to register a comparison script as a [diff-tool],
then register a [diff-pattern] associating the file extension with that
diff-tool, and then trigger a visual diff of the file. The script may have
to be a bit creative to present the results in a GUI window (xmessage, or
something similar)
See documentation on the extdiff extension
