I think the only way to do it at the moment is to use Substance Player, which is not ideal. It would probably be easier to change your naming convention to make the titles more descriptive. Another idea is to have an image or *.pdf of all your materials that you could reference?

Hopefully one day we can have windows explorer previews.
