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!

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.
