There is a type "i" that does this when included in a Gopher menu.
With this type, the path, host, and port information is ignored.

Specifying a paragraph of stuff this way with UMN gopherd is
annoying.  I wrote a program called gopherweblink to help with this
problem.  You can find it at the same place you downloaded gopherd.
With it, you create a file called .info with your text, run
gopherweblink, and it will generate a file in your directory with the
links in a format that gopherd will automatically recognize and use.
It looks like this:


Name=Welcome to gopher at quux.org!
Type=i
Path=fake
Numb=1

Name=
Type=i
Path=fake
Numb=2

Name=This server has a lot of information of historic interest,
Type=i
Path=fake
Numb=3
