You need to change 2 things.

First change the function PreviewPage in pmwiki.php from
function PreviewPage($pagename,&$page,&$new) {
  global $IsPageSaved, $FmtV;
  if (@$_POST['preview'] ) {
    $text = '(:groupheader:)'.$new['text'].'(:groupfooter:)';
    $FmtV['$PreviewText'] = MarkupToHTML($pagename,$text);
  }
}
to
function PreviewPage($pagename,&$page,&$new) {
  global $IsPageSaved, $FmtV;
  if (@$_POST['preview'] or @$_GET['preview']) {
    $text = '(:groupheader:)'.$new['text'].'(:groupfooter:)';
    $FmtV['$PreviewText'] = MarkupToHTML($pagename,$text);
  }
}

Second change the condition e_preview in scripts/forms.php from
$Conditions['e_preview'] = '(boolean)$_POST["preview"]';
to
$Conditions['e_preview'] = '(boolean)$_POST["preview"] or 
(boolean)$_GET["preview"]';

and add '&preview=1' to all edit links on your template and in 
Site.PageActions

Now, every time the edit link has 'preview=1' it will also preview what 
is being edited

Probably yes since this needs a change in the core of PmWiki.
