As a user, I wouldn’t intuitively understand that “click here” is going to download a file and “V 16.23.4” is going to give me information. I’d assume they were both download links and be confused why there are 2 and which one I should click.

If the download link is on the information page, a simple solution is just to send people to the information page where they can download. I tend to prefer that anyway. I find premature direct download links to be jarring where I’m not expecting it.
