I typically create tikz images with R tikzDevice or matplotlib.  In this
case, it’s useful to refer to the generated file:

  file:link/to/pix.tikz

> and to have preview as well?

I believe you’d have to include the code directly in the Org file to make
the preview of latex fragments work.  If this is essential, you could do
something like this:

#+latex_header: \usepackage{tikz}
#+Caption: A special block that’s a figure with a tikz picture.
#+begin_figure
\begin{tikzpicture}
\input{t.tikz} % raw tikz-content w/o \begin{}/end{}
\end{tikzpicture}
#+end_figure

See also the tikz section on ob-latex in worg:
