Would it be possible to make viewing source documents linked to deleted people before actually restoring them?

I recently found a major mess of multiple merges into one person. He had eleven wives and ten sets of parents. Not to mention the one hundred and ninety conflicting source documents.

Determining that the deleted people should be restored, I noticed that one or more source documents were still linked to these deleted people. Looking at these documents was a great help. However, there were times in my effort to fix the mess, I needed one of the deleted people, but I wanted to know which one fit the one I was looking for. However, I could not look at the attached document except after restoring the person. I did not want to restore people just to look at the linked documents.
