Just like the way Markdown Preview Enhanced behaves

when you open the source file, the preview window is automatically displayed on the side.

Thanks for your screen recording. It's good to have this feature. But there is one thing I concern. A typst-preview tab is much more heavier than a markdown preview(you may refer to https://enter-tainer.github.io/typst-preview/arch.html if you are interested). So launching too much preview tab would become a problem. Another problem is that not all typst file is previewable, such as template files. opening preview for these files doesn't make sense

Maybe it could be an option in .vscode/settings.json? something like

"typst-preview.main": "main.typ",
"typst-preview.automatically-show": true

where you specify the main file, this only makes sense in projects where only one file should be compiled.
