The sitelinks are not used directly, they are aggregated by using the work
item as a central hub. Basically the algorithm is:
1.- query all edition-items that are connected to the same work-item using
"edition of"
2.- make a list of all the sitelinks used on each one of these
edition-items (1 sitelink per edition-item)
3.- for each wikisource page connected to an edition-item, display the list
generated on point 2

Actually the problem isn't that you can only have
one link from a wikisource work from a wikidata item. We have separate wikidata items for
each edition of a work (because these have different metadata) so multiple editions of the
same work on a wikisource link to different wikidata items.
This creates a different problem. Each language edition of a work is a different edition
so it links to a different wikidata item which has sitelinks only to that translation of
the work. This means you can't use sitelinks to link to translations of a work on
other wikisources.
Does this mean wikidata sitelinks are useless for wikisource?
