Well, reading `info texinfo` a bit, it can: with 'anchor'. See
attached crude patch, which tries to avoid the ugly "::,".
Incidentally, the `scroll-behavior' paragraph itself already
contains such an anchored internal cross reference:
This variable normally affects only scrolling commands. *Note
cursor-movement-scrolls::, for information on how to widen its
scope.

Sometimes one needs a forward reference, sometimes in the same node
when the node is long.
