Thanks, attached a PNG visualisation of the current state in reversed

I think it is helpful (and possibly less confusing) to distinguish these
links from the regular "Info links".

Currently you can use the same keys and mouse clicks to follow and open
them as for the Info links.  I feel this is intuitively and is working
well in practice.

(I'm considering the idea of Drew Adams to close the appearing *Help*
window with a second click or <RET> press, though I've no idea how to
achieve this at the moment.)
