Change size of internal link preview

Hi,

I find the preview feature for internal links (like when linking to equations, sections or pages) incredibly helpful. However I think its current size may not be ideal for readability.

For instance, the preview offered by Zotero for equations in the PDF below is convenient, but rather small:

Here instead is the same internal link preview as implemented in GNOME's Evince PDF viewer (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince):

(What Zotero does better compared to here, is that it allows to navigate within the linked page by scrolling with the mouse wheel, which is welcome when links do not point precisely to the appropriate position in a page.)

I find the Evince implementation much more convenient in terms of size. It zooms on the relevant part of the page while it does not disrupt the view of the current page.

I think it would be great to modify the size of the Zotero preview to improve readability, possibly like in the Evince example above. If this may be disruptive to some users, I think that it would be at least convenient to provide an option in the config to customize the preview window size for those users that may want this.
