Adding in-context preview support for a new business object
In-context preview leverages the URL information of an object to be able to directly preview the business object in the storefront. To add in-context preview support for additional business objects, you must define a service call to retrieve the URL information and ensure that the information is returned in a specific format.
Note: By default,
in-context preview only functions for catalog objects and store page objects in the Catalogs tool

home page, rather than to a specific store page. In-context preview is also supported for stores
that use dynamic URLs, but it is recommended to use SEO-friendly URLs.
