Description

It would be really neat to get a preview of what the callout would look like while choosing it in the insert callout widget -- maybe in addition to their names, the icons (with color) could be shown in the dropdown menu. Something like the mockup below.

This would be a neat RStudio visual editor as well.

Research direction

Start by locating the insert callout widget and reviewing the linked mockup to understand the requested dropdown presentation. Determine how callout names are currently rendered and where their icons and colors are defined. Done means the widget previews the callout icon and/or color while choosing an option, with the RStudio visual editor scope clarified.
