Description

It would be nice if the docs for methods/properties that use datetime, hightime, and NumPy types had hyperlinks. We can enable this with the intersphinx plugin. See https://github.com/ni/measurementlink-python/pull/430 for an example.

Research direction

Compare the documentation configuration with the intersphinx example in measurementlink-python pull request 430. Identify where this repository configures Sphinx extensions and external documentation mappings, then enable links for datetime, hightime, and NumPy types. Done means the generated API docs hyperlink those referenced types.
