Function to add: if the player left click an alien on which a Mind Probe has been used this turn (without doing an action, against the alien, that can change the alien stats (ex: fire on it, use a Stun Rod on it, throw a grenade near it, etc.), he accesses freely to the alien stats last screen.
So the player do not waste TUs to access infos he already know, and without having to write them on a sheet of paper.

Same principle for all other cases while using the Mind Probe and the Psi-Amp.
