I'm used to irssi, but I'm willing to switch to something with gui, if
it provides me this feature. I've asked google, but found nothing.
Does anybody know a cool client with a feature to preview url of
images pasted on IRC?

Have you tried XChat, Konversation or even Chatzilla?  Not sure if
they can do  that ... but you never know.  I use weechat :/

I've already checked XChat, Konversation and KVirc, none of them
supports it. I don't use Mozilla, so Chatzilla is out for me.

Subway IRC supports it.. but its HTML/web based and still in early
stages. It's quite buggy...

It looks really nice, I'll check it for sure. Thanks.

Better than Colloquy?  If so why?

It's not perfect, but recently I've been using Quassel... it looks
good with the Oxygen theme, otherwise... and I don't know if it
supports inline image preview.

Give Enlightenment's
[Terminology](http://www.enlightenment.org/p.php?p=about/terminology)
terminal emulator a try instead. In-line image viewer works like a
charm, even though the whole thing is still a bit work-in-progress.
You can also install it from Janetzek's [Enlightenment SVN
PPA](https://launchpad.net/~hannes-janetzek/+archive/enlightenment-
svn).
