[Feature] People preview in merge view

I have searched the existing feature requests, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate request.

The feature

In the view to merge people, I currently have to guess wether it's the same person based on the preview picture of the person alone. It would be great to be able to view other pictures of the person to make sure they are the same.

copied from mine because my searches weren't bringing this up:

The facial recognition models often group multiple people under the same face, especially when the face is new (new angles, blurriness etc). When merging these new faces with existing named faces, I can sort for faces that are most similar to the current face. However, I can only see the thumbnail to these faces, but I would like to be able to inspect the photos inside to ensure that they all actually belong to the face I'm attempting to add them to.

One way to handle this might be an intermediary step that looks something like this:

1. Enter merge view
2. Select faces to merge
3. Rather than selecting Merge, select Choose Photos/Inspect/similar
4. This loads all the photos in the selected source faces (but maybe not the destination face) into a gridview where they can be expanded and inspected. They can also be either selected for merge, or selected for removal (I'm thinking treat it like an album, so after inspecting a bad image I can choose to "Remove" it from the merge and then continue merging with the leftover images). Once all the bad images are removed, select Complete Merge to push all of the remaining photos into the destination face

I could very much like to see this as well. Just a way to open the "face to merge" into a separate tab to inspect it would be enough already for me.

I have a lot of faces, I cannot find these faces manually in the people overview and since merging cannot be reverted, I am a little wary of merging without checking the pictures I am actually merging into the same person.
