Another alternate that we currently are trying to avoid
is a pattern used in e.g. 'project-switch-project':
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun run-command-other-window (window)
(interactive (list (other-window-for-scrolling)))
(with-selected-window window
(let* ((keys (read-key-sequence "Run in another window: "))
(command (key-binding keys)))
(call-interactively command))))
(keymap-global-set "M-i" 'run-command-other-window)
#+end_src
Then 'M-i m' will read a menu in the adjacent Info window,
and visit the selected Info node.
