With the WD methodology for each book there is to be an entry for the book as the idea/concept. Then for each edition there is to be a separate entry.

Now the difficulty that I am seeing is that WP links to the book/idea. Whereas WS links to the edition. So there is no visible relationship from each to the other in the WS <-> WP

Now while that may be correct it is problematic. Anyone have any clear solution? If it is going to be through indirect linking then we are going to need some clever lua work at enWS for Wikipedia linking in {{plain sister}} and similarly at the WP side.

While I have attention, VIAF entries for works. Are they related to the work or to an edition or is it both?  I see that the translations of works have a year in VIAF, and as that relates to an author it may be right but it seems inconsistent.
