That seems like it would be pretty easy to do, since the necessary information is already there. `Info-goto-emacs-command-node' already does something similar for commands (though in a slightly less convenient way). I don't know whether the method Info-goto-emacs-command-node uses would be best for doing all functions; maybe it would be better to just run a build-time script that extracts the references from the .texi files and actually embeds it into the doc-strings. -Miles -- Suburbia: where they tear out the trees and then name streets after them.
