Hi,

on a link in an info buffer the text has properies like these:

,----
| (font-lock-face info-xref mouse-face highlight
|  help-echo mouse-2: go to (libc)Special Functions)
| (font-lock-face info-xref mouse-face highlight
|  help-echo mouse-2: go to (libext2fs.info))
| (font-lock-face info-xref mouse-face highlight
|  help-echo mouse-2: go to (libidn)Invoking idn)
| (font-lock-face info-xref mouse-face highlight
|  help-echo mouse-2: go to (nano))
| (font-lock-face info-xref mouse-face highlight
|  help-echo mouse-2: go to (recode))
`----

Now I'd like to extract the link locations, e.g. "(libc)Special
Functions". But how?

The other properties can be examined with

    (get-text-property (point) 'font-lock-face)

but I cannot get the target.

I tried

    (get-text-property (point) 'mouse-2)
    (get-text-property (point) 'mouse-2:)
    (get-text-property (point) "mouse-2: go to")
    (get-text-property (point) 'to)

but they all return nil.

Much thanks in advance,
Tassilo
