There is not much information in the manual about it.  In the section 
Button Properties, action states that it requires a function to call 
when the user invokes the button, which is passed the single argument 
button. By default this is ignore, which does nothing.

Thus I would need a button type argument even though I would not use it.
I just have a function that displays some text variable in some new buffer.

As a general function, I do not want trm-display-info to include a button 
variable in its argument list.
