Summary0002218: Make "View Reference" available to planet contents sidebar.
DescriptionCurrently, to "View Reference" data on a ship type, you have to select that ship in the main planet screen and then Alt-RightClick. This works great for your ships, and especially your ships that are right in front of you, but if the ship is off-screen somewhere or belongs to the AI, there is no way to quickly get reference data---and in the case of the AI, no way to send that ship type to the stats window at all.

I suppose the mechanic for this could be the same Alt-RightClick. The main problem with this idea is when multiple mark types are available on the same planet. If the display selection menu in the Reference tab was pre-scrolled to the right spot *in general*, this would probably solve that problem. Just take the top mark type off of the list and if the user wishes to fine tune, they can use the menu to quickly select another mark level or variant.

Keith, if this is quick, I say go for it. Otherwise, file as a minor feature for later.
