If you prefer to @emph{always} see the invisible text, you can set
-@code{Info-hide-note-references} to @code{nil}. Enabling
-@code{vis-mode} permanently is not a real alternative, because Emacs
-Info also uses (although less extensively) another text property that
-can change the text being displayed, the @samp{display} property.

in a real menu item, the @samp{*} would appear at the very start of
