I agree with Amir.
Especially since we can use aliases to record possible alternative names as well.

As for simply allowing sitelinks to non-existing articles in Wikidata: I fear we can't easily do that. If someone adds the link to a specific item and then another person comes and creates an article under the same name but for a different topic we have an issue.
Is anyone interested in thinking this through together and writing up a plan? Once we have that we can figure out if there is someone to help with implementation.
As I wrote above, using the label in a clever way should be enough. Creating a sitelink without a target article is not desirable. A translated label should be good enough as the basis for the name of the future article.
I hope to integrate this as smoothly as possible into the ContentTranslation workflow Some Time Soon.
