True.  Is that a problem?

Use `info-lookup-maybe-add-help' for that.  See its doc string and the
examples of usage near the end of info-look.el in the Emacs distro.

You typically want to refer to other functions' docs.  Man pages have
the "SEE ALSO" section for that; in HTML, simply produce a link; in
Texinfo, generate an @xref.  I don't know docbook, so I cannot help
there.
