The "*note" part is what tells the Info reader that what follows is a
cross-reference.  If you take that away, how can the Info reader
distinguish between the rest and just plain text elsewhere in the
manual?

IOW, the fundamental problem here is that the Info format doesn't have
any markup to designate certain parts as hyper-links.  That's why it
needs "*note".
