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?

Thanks!

The inprop=talkid suggestion sounds doable, I'll implement that soon.
