Would that be reversable? where inprop=talkid would return the talk page id if the page given is a main page, and inprop=mainid would return the main page if a talk page is given?
The other question that comes to mind is - would this work in other spaces? Like template-space or category-space?

A lot of what I use the API for is for WikiProjects. As such, I'm often getting a list of pages by looking for a project template, which is on the talk page. Then I have to turn that around and get the actual articles from main-space.
So I was wondering about way to get the "switch" of a page id. The two possibilities I thought of are:
action=query&prop=info&inprop=talkid&pageids=15580374
action=query&prop=revisions&titles=Talk:Main%20Page&rvprop=mainid
Either one would take a page or set of pages and return either the talk page id or the mainspace id.
Is this something that's doable? Desired? Thoughts?
The inprop=talkid suggestion sounds doable, I'll implement that soon.
