Maybe you could make a screenshot of the first page and use this image as preview?

I don't understand you... why phoca download can't show the html file, doesn't make sense, should be do it.

Why displaying an article in html with Phoca Download? Joomla itself could do that! This make no sense to me! Phoca Download is a component to manage and display downloads! Anyway! Maybe you could use the Mirror Link area on the right side of the backend "New" file dialog to add a custom link to any link you want. This link would be opened ether in the same or in a new window.
