--- Comment #4 from filceolaire filceolaire@gmail.com --- On Wikidata each edition has different metadata so each edition gets a separate wikidata item. If a language wikisource has multiple editions of a work then each has a sitelink to a different wikidata item.
Each wikidata edition item is linked back to the wikidata general item for the work using the 'edition of' property.
This means the only problem is if a wikisource has multiple copies of the same edition. We can even cope with that by treating them as different editions and creating additional wikidata items so each has a separate wikidata item.
It also means that you can use sitelinks to link to translations in other language wikisources - as they are in different languages therefore they are different editions and different wikidata items so the sitelinks don't connect.
