Do (info "(emacs) Colors")
Now put the cursor on top of
‘M-x list-colors-display’
and hope emacs realizes it... but it doesn't so we end up typing
 <escape> x		 ;; execute-extended-command
 l			 ;; self-insert-command
 <tab>			 ;; minibuffer-complete
 i			 ;; self-insert-command
 <tab>			 ;; minibuffer-complete
 s			 ;; self-insert-command
 <tab>			 ;; minibuffer-complete
 t			 ;; self-insert-command
 <tab>			 ;; minibuffer-complete
 c			 ;; self-insert-command
 <tab>			 ;; minibuffer-complete
 o			 ;; self-insert-command
 <tab>			 ;; minibuffer-complete
 l			 ;; self-insert-command
 <tab>			 ;; minibuffer-complete
ah, finally we can hit RET.

One would think some default would show up based on what our cursor was
on or something.

Or maybe the item should be hyperlinked.

emacs-version "27.1"
