Actually that feature was introduced during the
Wikidata meetup by
User:Vlsergey :)
See:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat#Edit_directly_from_info…
AFAIK, at the moment it is only deployed on ruwiki, but it works! Check
also his other wikidata editors:

Is there documentation for this on a dedicated/discoverable page on Meta
or wikidatawiki now?
I disagree that this (editing Wikidata properties from the page where
they're transcluded) is something that can wait for the perfect solution
of world famine. It's much wiser to start with localised implementations
on particularly high-impact places.
For instance, when we get to fetch {{bio}} data for the lead section of
250k it.wiki articles*, being able to edit it directly from it.wiki will
be a killer feature. It's not so important for this to happen within
VisualEditor.
We need the data in use now, not in years. (This is not Nupedia.)

(*) Hopefully in months rather than years, given Amir has now imported
all main data.
