The URL of the page has to follow the node name so that other pages can 
link to it.

I see on 
https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/_0040xref.html#g_t_0040xref
 
the link to the page is labelled "One argument" - is that the kind of

There is the "@xrefautomaticsectiontitle on" option, which may give some 
of what you are looking for.
