Create a "View Story" button in Raintale's GUI about raintale HOT 2 CLOSED

Raintale's GUI is intended to create stories, but not necessarily distribute them. We don't want users to get into the habit of just sharing the story from the server. If the Raintale GUI is updated or reinstalled, the stories may disappear.

We should also add a Download Story or Save Story button for downloading the story file. I realize that a user can just right click the appropriate file and download it manually, but this would help to stress that they need to save the story and that the Raintale GUI is not the story's final destination.

I've been thinking about how we could handle this for file outputs. We can modify the template in jobs/results/table_row.html to modify the entry for the file containing output.dat.

Here is a crude idea, but we can make it better. See how the Django template language checks for output.dat in the file.url variable and then behaves differently?

        {% if 'output.dat' in file.url %}
        STORY FILE ➡️ <a href="{{ file.url }}" target="_blank">{{ file.basename }}</a>
        {% else %}
        <a href="{{ file.url }}" target="_blank">{{ file.basename }}</a>
        {% endif %}

We could place the button here, which deviates from the interface paradigm used on the rest of the page. If possible, a better idea is to identify this line with an HTML id attribute containing some value, like story-file, and then use this id value to connect it to the View Story and Download Story buttons through some JavaScript.
