I did but AFAICS this will always generate a "See..." prefix for the
reference. Of course, there's @ref but this will also generate some
additional output like Section XX, Page YY, which I don't want. What
I'd like to have is that a single term can be defined as a link, e.g. like
the following: (pseudo texi following)

Click @definelink{this link,mynode1234} to jump to mynode1234.

This should generate the following text:

Click this link to jump to mynode1234.

And the term "this link" should be a hyperlink that, when clicked,
jumps to @node mynode1234. Of course, this doesn't make sense
in printed output, but for PDF or HTML output it could be quite
useful. Is it possible to do this or will I always get the full links
with Section X.X Page Y etc.?
