I thought that since `Info-try-follow-nearest-node' already matches a
reference name regexp, this regexp could be extended to match a node
name too, and its value could be transfered to Info-follow-reference
by extra argument. However, this can be done in Info-follow-reference
as well given than point is still located on a position with reference.

Yes, there is another problem with similarly named references: how to
select a reference unambiguously from a completion list. I thought
that node name could be concatenated with a reference name to form one
item string in a completion list to disambiguate them, for instance:
Top::
Top: (elisp)Top
and after an item is selected from the minibuffer to split it to two
values: reference name and node name and use them as function
arguments.
