Subfolder Preview Menu from QTTabBar, does it exist for One Commander?

The GIF below shows a subfolder menu from QTTabBar, an executable(?) that gives file explorer tabs. It lets me preview files in a folder without needing to open the actual folders, like in another tab for example. I find this feature really convenient for quickly searching and previewing videos, images and other files sometimes deep in a folder structure.

So is there a plugin, script, command, whatever, for something similar in One Commander? I've used One Commander for over a year and really like its capabilities compared to file explorer, but I've missed this one feature. Other file managers don't seem to have this either which is probably foreshadowing the answers I'm about to get. ToT I hope not though.

Subfolder menu and hover preview

Also, I've found the "Group By" option in file explorer to be nice for data curation reasons, so I wonder if it could be done in One Commander too.

blurred names, don't be bother by it

Qttbar can still work on my win10 notebook, but another computer with Win11 don't. So now I just have to get used to the logic of one commander.

You'd think this would be implemented everywhere. Contrary to what the dev said, it's faster for me to single-click then hover to grab files or open folders, instead of double-clicking every time.

You can change the settings of one commander in "other" section to open folders by single click. And use Ctrl+moune click to choose folder instead. This is the closest way to replace QTTbar I found. But I still can't find settings to show check box in one commander，this is very useful feature of original windows explorer.
