We have useful HTML id=""s in the page source of MediaWiki's info action, but we currently don't expose these IDs as links in the user interface.
Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki?action=info#mw-pageinfo-watchers
This is similar to T78232: Make Special:Preferences preference heading IDs (for linking) discoverable.

Sorry, I'm definitely interested in this task. I've been a bit busy this week. I tried to reply to you on IRC, but obviously I wasn't very successful.
Regarding https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/249578, it's a little difficult for me to know exactly what this change is doing as I haven't applied to it to a real MediaWiki installation. It sounds like this change would turn all of the info data point labels into links? What would happen with Number of redirects to this page which is already a link, then?
I left this task assigned to you because that's how it was already and I didn't know whether to blank the field or add you as a task subscriber. But if you're no longer interested in this task, I understand and we can mark this task as unassigned.

I came to conclusion this feature is not really needed. It is not only about lack of attention, I also think this feature is really unnecessary.
