Providing such a reference is not nice.  You can find it via isearch
(C-s) nonetheless, which in info is not limited to the current manual
page but spans the whole complete manual.

A certain kink of standard is to write references to the manual like
this:

    (info "(emacs) Easy Customization")                    (1)

This is actually a piece of Elisp code, so you can e.g. put the cursor
after it and hit C-x C-e to get to the page.

You can produce (1) and insert it into the kill-ring conveniently from
within the info viewer via typing M-0 w, and then paste it into any
message.
