I have SharePoint 2016 (on prem) and in the document library, I'd like to hover my mouse over a document and have a preview/popup like in search results. Is it possible to create something like that in a normal library and how do I do this? Thank you in advance

In order to view or preview Office documents in the browser for on-premises SharePoint 2016 or SharePoint 2019, you have to have Office Online Server (OOS) installed on a separate server from your SharePoint farm (this product was formerly known as Office Web Apps).

Because this is a separate Microsoft server product, you must first follow the guidance to Deploy Office Online Server, then you can follow the SharePoint 2016 specific integration steps.
