Is there a way to select a Tmux Window by the number listed in the preview while in Sessions List view (activated with:
C-b s
)? In other words, how do I switch to window 3 (circled in red) in this screenshot?:

I am aware that I can switch windows directly (without going into Sessions List view) with: C-b [1-0]
. The issue with that is that I often forget where my windows are and am helped by having a preview of their contents.
I am also aware that I can expand the windows in Sessions List view or else load the Window List view with: C-b w
to see a list of all windows. The issue with that is that you have to spend time expanding the list of windows or (if you launch the Windows List view) you can only see a preview of one window at a time.
Edit: I attempted TechLoom's solution but it didn't work for me (see Gif)
