+1, in general.
1. Needs an option or a minor mode, for on/off.
IOW, this should not happen in a hard-coded way:
(add-hook 'Info-selection-hook 'Inform-make-xrefs)
2. At least in Emacs 26.3, I don't see the `Inform-echo'
text (and I don't see where property `Inform-echo' is
actually used in the code). Instead, I see, for each
link ("button"), this tooltip: "mouse-1, RET: Push
this button".
3. It could help to (at least optionally be able to)
have different link faces for the different types of
objects (options, other variables, commands, other
functions, etc.).
4. Using `mouse-1' or `RET' a second time could remove
the *Help* display. IOW, let it be a toggle for
showing *Help* about the given object.
