I didn't know about the VisualEditor initiative, but I use the wikEd gadget that you
can enable under your preferences for the English Wikipedia. It makes links to images
clickable while editing, among other things. If we could get a similar experience to link
to a Wikidata item that could be a good first step.

Doesn't seem to be en.wiki-related, so I'll reply here: "normal users"
are not able to edit infoboxes anyway, so Wikidata is the first step to
make infobox data more easily editable: we're already seeing this with
interwiki links (except for Commons, whose situation worsened because
it's outside the circle).
There was a time when we thought Semantic MediaWiki with its forms (or
other hacky forms) were the way, but probably Wikidata will be serving
this purpose too.
