Let us see, once Wikidata has replaced most of the local language links, what is left and how the world looks then. This would be then the appropriate moment to consider how to further extend the system. Right now we would be building on too many assumptions that we cannot validate for a rather small benefit.

Is there any reason not to have links from wikidata/FooBar to en.wiki/FooBar and de.wiki/Foo#Bar? It would be a directed edge, but is that a problem?
I think there are a lot of articles especially in the german wikipedia where you don't have FooBar but Foo#Bar.

While having 3 articles in German it is always the same article in English. AFAIK something like that is not possible to reflect in WikiData.
Correct.
In such a case, old style language links have to be used in the wikitext. Note however that the English article can only have one outgoing interlanguage link to german, the others are ignored (this was changed in core a few weeks ago, unrelated to wikidata).
One solution would be to create a "hub" page for the law in general on
the
German wikipedia too.
