You might try Ciaran Walsh's QuickLook in TextMate and TextMate in  
QuickLook plugins (http://ciaranwal.sh/2007/11/15/quicklook-and- 
textmate).  With these installed, you can click on a file in the  
project drawer, and, using the QuickLook item from the contextual  
menu, open the file in QuickLook.  It will still be rendered using  
TextMate as an engine (if you install the latter plugin), and, after  
you're done with it, you're not left with an open tab.
