This looks like a complaint about how all current web browsers work :-)
You don't see in the text area of web browsers whether a link leads
to to same site or not. Well, some sites (like slashdot.org) adds
the name of external site after a link in the text if link leads outside.
This is actually similar to what you are proposing.

I wanted to clarify what is the best way to display references in the
current Info format or XML output of Texinfo without refilling and
without changing line lengths.
