Hi @florian_wenzel.  I do not actually know how to 'capture' that dynamic preview object, but I imagine it is being generated using GraphicsNode objects in a ClientGraphics object from the ClientGraphicsCollection in an attempt to show you what it would look like.  That is just temporary graphics, that may or may not be selectable, only used for preview type stuff.  There are a bunch of sample codes in the online help area related to that type of stuff, but most likely all in VBA.  I would not know how to retrieve those graphics objects, or how to use them for anything useful though.  They were probably generated by mostly API steps in the background though.  Here are a couple links about those UnwrapFeatures in the online help area that may help a little.
