... which you no doubt found out, or could have found out, by
executing (with M-:) (text-properties-at (point)) and examining the
result.

|     (get-text-property (point) 'help-echo)
|
| works.

Which may prove useless in the long run, as in my (CVS) version of
emacs that text is replaced by the much less useful "mouse-1: go to
this node".

You may need to dig around in info.el to find out how the info code
itself finds the necessary information.
