Description
User story 1: As a user who arrives at a dataset using a File DOI, I want to see easily whether there is a newer version of the file/dataset
User story 2: As a user who arrives at a dataset following a &versionX link to an earlier version, I want to see easily that there is a newer version of the file/dataset
See e.g. Zenodo's implementation of basically this feature here:
This is probably more relevant for Zenodo because they have DOIs for specific versions, but I do think it'd be useful to implement on Dataverse given the above two users stories (and also with an eye towards probably supporting versioned DOIs in the future)

Research direction
Start by tracing how File DOI and &versionX links resolve to dataset or file versions, then compare the issue's Zenodo example. Done means users arriving at an older version can clearly see that a newer dataset or file version exists.
