Not entirely sure if these suit your use case, but [Discourse Tooltips](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-tooltips-preview-topic-contents-on-hover/69304) and [https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-list-previews/41630/27](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-list-previews/41630/27) are two plugins that do that. They do not limit the view to staff though.
