Subject line says it all.  Targets would be nodes `Symbol Type'
and `Output Variables'.

The index entry is already there, but it cannot be #: because Info
cannot cope with a colon in a menu, and index in Info is just a large
menu.  So in Info we use "#COLON instead (we do use #: in the printed
manual).

OK, thanks.  That's an unfortunate limitation.
