Figuring out travel plans of tourists is unnecessarily tedious and can be improved just by extending contents of a crew info popup/tooltip

Description

I enjoy playing a "travel agency" flavor of KSP career which means I often have multiple tourist contracts open and since each contract has tourists with different plans, it requires a lot of checking of what's the travel plan of each tourist to select him for launch, or to transfer him to the right ship on each station exchange.

Every time I do that, I need to open both list of tourists available (in a ship or in the roster) and list of contracts and manually match the two unsorted lists against each other. It's very tedious and uncomfortable.

It would be really great if there were easier ways of figuring out travel plans of each tourist.

- in VAB/SPH, the travel plan of the tourist could show up in the tourist's tooltip which now just says "Tourists pay funds to see new and exciting places". Since "employee" kerbals can have their career log there, I believe tourists could have their travel itinerary there as well. It would make selecting tourists for a trip so much easier.

- in a ship, the same popup can contain the tourist's itinerary when pointing at the tourist's "profession" in the crew portrait. That's the easy implementation. Since the Transfer Crew window closes when paging through the crew portraits list, even more comfortable would be if each entry in the Transfer Crew window had the same popup. That'd be useful even for transferring the regular crew as that would tell the user the Kerbal's profession.
