I guess you're asking me about actioning the "More" button when point is
past it, to show the rest of the documentation.

There's already code that handles custom group links that way, in
Custom-newline (RET is bound to that command).  For example:
emacs -Q
M-x customize-group RET vc
C-s Log-Edit RET
RET

Emacs follows the link even though point is past the link.

It should be easy to extend it to other links/buttons.
