Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Users might not know the read the docs pages exist while looking at the swagger page

Describe the solution you'd like
On the main header section of each endpoint in swagger, or within the endpoints, could we add a link to the read the doc pages as they are being made?

https://cwms-data-api.readthedocs.io/latest/endpoints/timeSeries_endpoints/index.html

Room for suggestions on how best to do that

Could you agree: tie name of endpoints to the doc url

Additional context

Research direction

Start at the Swagger page and trace how its endpoint headers or sections are generated, then compare the endpoint names with the ReadTheDocs timeSeries endpoints page. Done means the relevant Swagger endpoints expose links to their corresponding ReadTheDocs pages without breaking the existing API documentation.
