Hi Heime,
In Info mode `c' runs `Info-copy-current-node-name',
whose docstring is:
"Put the name of the current Info node into the kill ring.
The name of the Info file is prepended to the node name in parentheses.
With a zero prefix arg, put the name inside a function call to `info'."
Try to run this with your favorite variant of `C-x C-e':
(info "(eintr) Top")
then navigate to another section, and type `M-0 c'. This will put a
sexp like (for example) this one in the kill ring:
(info "(eintr) Kill Ring")
Then you can copy that sexp to your notes and use it as a hyperlink.
Do that for all the pages that you find relevant.
Good fortune will follow.
Cheers,
Eduardo Ochs

P.S.: one can use this to access the eintr with just `M-x ei':
(defun ei () (interactive) (info "(eintr) Top"))
but many people hate functions with very short names like that one.
