Can you elaborate on this?
info.el supports cross references spanning two lines going
back over 10 years. For example, in Info node
"(emacs-e20)Intro" in my GNU/Debian box, you find
on the keyboard, you can rebind the keys that way. *Note
Customization::.
Put the cursor anywhere on the word Customization and hit return.
The info-mode takes you to the node "(emacs-e20)Customization".
If you look at the code for Info-follow-reference command
in info.el, the following regexp is searched for the
reference:
"\\*note[ \n\t]*\\([^:]*\\):"
As you can see, newlines within the reference should not be
a problem.

I thought info mode was "simple" and "intuitive" going back
to the 1980's. That is why I still prefer to use info mode
over other forms of on-line documentation including HTML if
possible.
