How can I create hyperlinks in a python file?

Normally whenever you create a function one is created automatically.

However I have a file that doesn't contain any function, only information:

**How could I create hyperlinks so I don't have to scroll down** and I can simply click to go there?

I thought about doing this:  
`def info1(): return`  
but is a bit _ugly_...

Thx in advance!

In some version of 8.3 I'm hoping to revamp this tree from its current (quite fragile) regex parsing methodology to a proper AST parse, which would make it trivial to add support for declared constants. Probably only at the top level.
