Just insert a text button, try this
(defun insert-bug-info-link ()
(let ((inhibit-read-only t))
(insert-text-button "Reporting Bugs"
'action
(lambda (btn)
(info-other-window "(emacs) Bugs")))))
I think the best would be to install such a change right now. It will
help getting Emacs 23.1 out of the door.
