Previewing mecanim animation through script

Unity Engine
1

I would like to preview an animation clip on a mesh in my scene view.
To preview an animation clip on an object that has an Animation component on it it’s quite simple I just use the SampleAnimation method (Unity - Scripting API: AnimationClip.SampleAnimation).

However I would like to sample an animation from an Animator component and I found no methods to preview the animation clip on the object. How can I do so?

Ideally I’d give it a sample time, the animationClip to play and the object to play it on.
