However, MediaWiki only supports one link per target site in the sidebar.

Maybe an on-page navigation box could be used instead of "proper" language links?

With the help of JavaScript, the contents of that nav box could then be moved
into the sidebar. That's a bit hackish, but would work ok, I think.

On English Wikisource they were using this template to allow more than one link per language:
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Template:Interwiki-info

However it seems that is not working now on this page (the interwiki list should be much larger according to the wikitext):
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Raven_%28Poe%29

I think it would be a good idea to always have that, for consistency and
structural integrity.

It makes sense to create "work pages" for works with several editions in a given language (5-10% depending on language) since it is the equivalent of having a desambiguation page, but having a big number of "work pages" on Wikisource for works that only have one edition might be detrimental for the user experience, unless they are redirects. How far is the development of using redirect pages as sitelinks?
