Can Plant look at and use an unrevealed alien power it grafts from another player in the Hidden Powers variant?

Designer reasons Plant grafts the player and gets control of their powers, hedged with 'I would think'; community posts agree.

Yes. Plant grafts the player rather than a single card, so it gains control of that player's alien powers and their facets, including seeing a hidden power. It does not take the player's hand or regular ships.
