This is great.
I'm not yet really up on Wikidata, but why's it a URL? How does the "scan
file (Commons)(P996)" property work? This one is doing a similar thing to
that. I guess we can't have a Wikisource Index data type though. :(
Anyway, what I wanted to ask was whether anyone could tell me how one can
get from an Index page, to the mainspace work's page (to get the Wikidata
item for the work)? Because at the moment it's a matter of following the
link found in the #ws-title table cell and sometimes there's more than
one link there, so it gets confusing. Also, many editions span more than
one Index.
Ah... or is that what's going to be solved with this property? Because at
the moment, there's no hard and fast way to do this, but if every index
was referenced in Wikidata from an edition's page, then it'd be simple. Is
that the idea?
Of course, a script would perhaps just update the unambiguous cases, and
leave the odd ones to us humans.
(Sorry, I'm not being very coherent... I'll start learning more about
wikidata I think!)

Just recently a new Wikidata property for linking with
the Index page has
been created

An example of its use can be seen here:

In theory it should be possible to import it automatically. Is anyone
capable of writing a bot for importing it?
Cheers,
