Comments on Emacs Info Expressions
Joost said:
There's an easier way: In an info buffer, type M-0 c
instead of just c, and Emacs will put the info node's
name inside a call to info (i.e., you get (info
"(dir) Top") in the kill ring.)

Do you know about the zero-prefix for c (or
equally w) in Info-mode? It puts the info
s-expression into the kill ring, e.g., personally I
always type: C-0 w.

Thank you, Karthink, Joost, and Mekeor for the comments! Indeed,
with the zero prefix argument, the c key copies the
complete info expression! I have added a new section
to the post to include this, with credits to you.

Just load the Hyperbole package and remove the space between the manual and node name.
Then in any Emacs buffer you can add "(manual)node" in
double quotes, press M-RET with point on that string
and display the associated node. This works for Info index entries
as well. Keep it simple.

You can use a prefix arg of 0 in the info node —
C-0 corC-u 0 c— to copy the full info expression, i.e.,(info "(emacs) Branches")instead of"(emacs) Branches".
