Call upon thumbnails selectively

I keep the Hovering option set to tooltip, because thumbnails get in my way.  There are some specific item's thumbnails which I'd like to have access to; mainly media players, as they have playback controls on the thumbnail preview panel.

1. Would it be possible to change the drag-out-from-taskbar function from jump list to thumbnail preview?
2. If that is not an option, would a Show Thumbnail Preview Always/Never option be possible from within Taskbar Inspector?

Thanks,

Jermain
