As Andra reminded me above, this property went through pretty extensive discussions overlapping the one here (with examples) when it was proposed:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/exact_match

I was mainly checking to ensure that no one else had been bolding working on integrating wikidata with the semantic web according to a different approach before we invested our time more heavily in this one.  As it seems that has not transpired, my intention is to lead/follow our team in this direction - starting with an integration of the concepts in the Gene Ontology.

Do you have examples, please?

Generally, it's better to propose an "external-ID" type property, if
there are a significant number of items to be identified.

I'm happy to assist you if you decide to go down that route.
