Hyperlinks gone for first story of two-storied *Help* buffers |

Look at this weird *Help* screen,
Note the four non-hyperlinked items?

It's a long story:
$ emacs -Q
C-h f ;; describe-function
s ;; self-insert-command
o ;; self-insert-command
- ;; self-insert-command
l ;; self-insert-command
o ;; self-insert-command
n ;; self-insert-command
g ;; self-insert-command
<return> ;; minibuffer-complete-and-exit
C-x o ;; other-window
<tab> ;; forward-button
<tab> ;; forward-button
<return> ;; push-button
C-x 1 ;; delete-other-windows
C-h l ;; view-lossage
Yes, the cursor was on top of
‘global-so-long-mode’
when I did push-button.
Because global-so-long-mode is both a function and a variable, I get the
two-storied *Help* window.
But whoever invented two-storied *Help* windows didn't make sure all the
hyperlinks are hyperlinked.
Sure they are when you do
(describe-function 'global-so-long-mode)
(describe-variable 'global-so-long-mode)
individually. But not when you do them "both at the same time" via the
push-button.
emacs-version "27.1"

They are not hyperlinks, they are names of commands.
Closing.
