Correct :)
be sure because I don't remember having ever seen a formal order of development/deployment priorities, but I believe that things have been
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Development_plan
bumped up and down in the priorities order based on community request. If the ability to access Wikidata data directly - like this task would require
- is something that has broad support, I would certainly encourage you to
gather that support in one place and present it to the Wikidata community and the development team.
Much like every Wikipedia article exists because someone decided that the subject matter was important enough to warrant them writing article on it, every feature (and piece of information) on Wikidata is there because someone decided that it was important enough to add.
Arbitrary access is currently at position 8 in the above plan. Given that we've already started working on basically everything before it I don't think we can bump it up a lot more tbh.
