I understand.
As far as I know the PT already has 1 generated image for every part.
Example:
Unofficial Parts = https://www.ldraw.org/library/unofficial.../12891.png
Official Parts = https://www.ldraw.org/library/official/i...s/3001.png

I agree with you: that's only an image, it would be easy to extend that a little to a small info page
about a part, showing the file header + image.
In analogy to the URLs above, those URLs could be
https://www.ldraw.org/partsref/unofficia.../12891.png
https://www.ldraw.org/partsref/official/parts/3001.dat
That would not be a set inventory, just a part meta info page.

I always wondered why these images were not included in the part scan search, for example here:
https://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptscan.cgi?q=mursten
I would love to see small preview images in that list.
They maybe were left out to reduce traffic to our servers.
That's probably a reason not to do that. Or maybe only do it if the list is <=20 items or so.
