In theory, yes. In practice, you do not get a preview for downloaded  
files, not even for images. This has been known for ages:

http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2460

Besides, even if all entries had a preview, it is still cumbersome to  
find anything by preview, because the preview is hidden in the "detail  
view", and there is not even a way to move directly between detail  
views (next/previous buttons as well as page up/down keys have been  
discussed but not implemented). Nor is there a way to navigate by  
keyboard at all in the Journal.

Unfortunately "usability" is not one of the goals in the Sugar roadmap.
