Tie from quarter note triplet to Whole note
See attached file. Shortcut "T" gets no reaction from the first two notes of the triplet. I tried two different lines from the Lines palette; very limited flexibility in placement and shaping. The Sibelius solution is elegant.

Well, that's also possible with MuseScore Studio, since version 4.5, with the "Laissez Vibrer" option. To display it in the toolbar, click on the cogwheel in the center of this toolbar, scroll down and open the l.v. eye icon - second image below.
You can then customize the appearance, position, length, style, in the Properties panel, and you get (I deliberately left the top tie in the default direction, I don't like it when it collides the 4/4 time signature)
And you get:

OK! I'll try that.

OK! I got it. I don't see much in the way of customizing other than the length. It would be nice to be able to drag it to extend or shorten it, and ways to customize the bend, etc. But it will do as is for now. Thanks very much!

"I don't see much in the way of customizing other than the length."
Look again at my first attached image from the Properties panel.
In the Laissez vibrer section, you can customize its style (solid or dotted etc.), position (above, below), placement in relation to the notehead, and length.
I didn't have to do any customization at all, at all. Just entered the triplet, then the whole notes, then selected each triplet note and pressed T. Can alternatively use Ctrl+click to multi-select both of the triplet notes and then press T to tie to the whole notes.
Including (or not) the time signature had no effect.

Well, of course. And for the first D 8th ?
You're going to tell me that you can tweak something with a slur. True, but since version 4.5 we've had a nice "l.v." new feature, so let's take advantage of it...

I was responding to OP's specific question, not suggesting other options, which certainly exist. I had, however, missed the unconnected tie from the D. What's it supposed to be tied TO??? If it's supposed to be a slur then, of course that's a different matter. *shrug*

"I had, however, missed the unconnected tie from the D. What's it supposed to be tied TO???$`"
Precisely, and it's not a slur at all, it's a "laisser vibrer"
See : https://musescore.org/en/node/14437 (a very-very former request...)

Hmm. Doesn't work for me. I think it used to work. I am using Version 4.5.1.250800846 (!) plus Revision: 603eca8
Which version are you using?

WHAT doesn't work for you? @cadiz1 and I have been discussing two different things. But both of them work in 4.5.1. In fact one of them only works in 4.5.1 (or did the l.v. show up first in 4.5.0?).

Basically I would like to be able to tie the first and second notes of a triplet to a chord containing all three notes on the next beat. I can't find an example in my old Sibelius files to illustrate. I hope you know what I mean.
In reply to Basically I would like to be… by AldenJ
Your example does not have "a chord containing all three notes on the next beat". In your example, the triplet has D, Gb, Gnat and your chord has only Gb and Gnat. I was saying that the T shortcut DOES work just as you described (for me, at least). @cadiz1 is saying that you can do what your example showed by using the laissez vibre (l.v., or "let ring"*) tool instead of using the "tie".
If you want the chord to include all three notes from the triplet, I think either method will work. Sorry, either method will work if you have MuseScore Studio 4.5 or higher. That's when the l.v. was added.

@TheHutch. You didn't answer AldenJ's question: Which version are you using?
In reply to Which version are you using? by cadiz1
I did: I said that the specific action that didn't work for OP (namely, the T shortcut), does work fine. You suggested using the l.v., answering a slightly different question: namely, how to make it look like OP's example image.

Well, let me ask you personally: what version of MuseScore are you using currently? For my part, version 4.5.1.

Not that it matters. I have two computers. One still running 4.4.4, the other with 4.5.1.

Ok, so please try with 4.5.1, and let us know how it goes.

I did. The screenshot I posted came from 4.5.1. I simply did not think of using l.v. I just didn't think of it.
I used ties, which is explicitly what OP asked about. You used l.v., which works better.
In reply to I did. The screenshot I… by TheHutch
You haven't tried it with 4.5.1. and 2. your screenshot was taken with 4.4.4 (or earlier)
See, using the same method, by selecting with Ctrl the last two notes, then shortcut T (for Tie), it works with 4.4.4, but not with 4.5.1 (as already noted by the OP, who was using 4.5.1)
