I think that would be a bit surprising for TAB and RET to work like that in Info buffers -- it'd take you out if Info mode, which is usually not what we want.

A good Info manual should have a cross-reference right after the name of the function/variable, unless they are described in the same node. So yes, going to the *Help* buffer from there would be wrong.
