You can't preview it, however you can use the Advanced WE Editor, and customize a unit. Then put the SFX path. For example you would like to edit a peon:

Go to unit editor and you should see like this:

Peon - model used: units\orc\peon\peon

change that path to an sfx:

Peon - model used: UI\Feedback\GoldCredit\GoldCredit

In that example you should see a gold sfx when you place a peon in your map.

WARNING: Dont put a .mdx extension, since WE automatically detects the MDL inside the MDX.

That's just a basic tip, and I tested it.

Just view the MPQ with MPQVeiwer + MPQ List File, then check the SFX. Use Trial and Error.
