I had a look at the history and this customization never made to
texi2any, however, previously if the reference was to a section, there
was 'section'.  This was removed in that commit

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/texinfo.git/commit/tp/Texinfo/Convert/HTML.pm?id=f97e44597dc6cda93c0bff607ce9599d6ea41069

My feeling is that it is better without section, with more text output
by texi2any, there is also more risk that the output is not what the
user expects.
