I answered my own question and now can't figure out how to delete this post......
@steinm is it possible to use the API in a single request from a browser? To claify, could I construct a URL that would "view online" a document using the API? I read doc/README.hooks but still don't know how to use them (or why there are no View hooks listed).
Fwiw, I really like the look of the ViewDocument page on the demo site with the document preview extension. It would be a great layout when I want to mostly see the document meta-data and also having the document preview is a nice addition. Also I had never thought to "pull" the Eye icon to a new browser tab, which is very convenient. However, the preview is quite small compared to the total view and can't be exapanded to fill the window (or at least it doesn't seem to be). As a result, although...

However, the preview is quite small (2/3? of the screen area is used for meta-data), and doesn't seem to be expandable to fill the window (but even it it was, that would still be another mouse click).

Fwiw, I like the look of the ViewDocument page on the demo site, with the document preview. It's a great layout when I need to see the document meta-data and having the document preview can be very convenient. However, it's still not a shortcut to seeing just the document as big as possible without 2/3 of the screen area being used to show meta-data - IMHO, and the current behavior is certainly not a show stopper.
