Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Review the app-template's current CMake configuration and documentation first, then add walkthrough examples for linking header-only and other external libraries. Done means newcomers can follow the tutorials to link each library type.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Depending on the type of library, there might be more than one way to add an external library to a project made with our app-template. For those not familiar with cmake, the best practice might not be clear. We should add tutorials/examples for how to add another library header-only or otherwise
