Is there an official format for the line numbers in Info cross-references?
(info "(texinfo) Printing Indices & Menus") documents the format of
line numbers only in the index, not in the cross-references:
* In Info output, address@hidden' produces a special menu containing
the line number of the entry, relative to the start of the node.
Info readers can use this to go to the exact line of an entry, not
just the containing node. (Older Info readers will just go to the
node.) Here's an example:
* First index entry: Top. (line 7)
The actual number of spaces is variable, to right-justify the line
number; it's been reduced here to make the line fit in the printed
manual.
The Info reader already supports this format in the index.
