Tutorial: Update the tutorial to include more links to and from the User Guides

[j-opatz]

Describe the Task

One of the biggest complaints of the online tutorial was that it attempted to cover too much information while not allowing a good coverage of the material it was trying to cover. By linking to the User’s Guides from the tutorial for more information on the tools being used/settings, we can remove the need for an in-depth discussion in the tutorial, “lightening up” the tutorial in the process as well as getting tutorial users to quickly navigate to the important information in the User’s Guide. Similarly, links from the User’s Guides to the tutorial will allow users who ended up in the User’s Guides looking for examples/help to be guided to examples that show the tool “in action”.
