How to tell if a craftable item will be an upgrade?

If you go to craft an item in Dragon Age Inquisition, you get the following kind of screen:

Now I would like to know if the craftable is a potential upgrade. I'm assuming that I can do so somehow, because top-right you have a set of controls to switch to different party members.

However, I can not find a way to see what my selected party member is currently wearing, let alone compare that to the potential item I'm making.

I've tried hovering and right clicking everywhere in the UI, but haven't found an option to do this. Is going back and forth between the Crafting UI and Inventory UI (and remembering or screenshotting in between) really the easiest way to see if something would be an upgrade for a character?
