Description

Description
I noticed that the salt documentation quite often refers to other parts of it self. However instead of linking inside the documentation itself links to externally hosted documentation are used.

Suggested Fix
Point the reference inside the documentation itself which then will point
to the local file or the same host the currently opened file originates from.

Type of documentation
The main salt documentation

Location or format of documentation
doc/topics/tutorialsquickstart.rst#L23

Additional context
If possible footnotes should be entirely avoided and replaced with links be it internal or external.

Research direction

Start with doc/topics/tutorialsquickstart.rst at line 23 and inspect the surrounding references to externally hosted Salt documentation. Identify references that have corresponding locations in the main documentation and point them to local or same-host links; avoid footnotes where direct links are appropriate. Done means the affected references use internal documentation links without breaking the rendered documentation.
