Did you mean the opposite?

AFAIK they can, e.g.https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P35

Indeed: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1628 is already used to mark properties ("identifiers") already defined in other ontologies.
https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&target=Property%3AP1628&namespace=120

Looks like we just need to add this property to more properties. Whether this piece of information is used for presentational purposes seems secondary, or at least I don't see a compelling argument for it yet.
