Some Emacs *Help*
buffers include active cross-references that point to file system paths. One can visit the associated files by following the xref in the usual way, but I want to know how to determine the path that the xref points to without visiting the associated file (i.e. without following the cross-reference).
How can I do this?
IMPORTANT: I want to to do this while using Emacs in text-mode. (IOW, no mouse, no menus, etc.)
PS1: It occurs to me that one simple way to get the information I want is to view the source code underlying the *Help*
buffer. (By this I mean the mark-up that identifies the cross-referenced items, and holds their targets.) I have not been able to find how to do this either.
PS2: Somewhere in the docs I found that running M-x visible-mode
may display the information I'm after, but when I try it I see no additional information anywhere. Ditto with fiddling with the variable Info-hide-note-references
.
