quests are implemented mostly in scripts. the window of the quest log is implemented here: https://github.com/Try/OpenGothic/blob/master/game/game/questlog.cpp. game scripts then create topics and set their status by calling these functions
Infos are basically what drives game dialogues. Each has a function (usually executed when dialogue option is selected by player) which primarily makes NPCs say things but also can update "quest" variables or add an entry into "quest" log (bizzarely, scripts can't read from it). Infos also have a bunch of other things like a "condition" function to check if dialogue should be selectable, NPC associated with it etc. You can find them (already extracted from game files) here: https://github.com/VaanaCZ/gothic-2-addon-scripts/tree/2.7-EN/_work/Data/Scripts/Content/Story/Dialoge (link particularly to where dialogues/infos can be found).
Got a brief look at OpenGothic code and, as far as I understood, it doesn't change the approach, original scripts are used and https://github.com/GothicKit/phoenix is used for parsing and executing them.
