Looking at it, I also notice one has to edit to get from the unit label to its entity. I wonder if it's possible to make it easier in the UI to get to the entity of the unit and see its URL.
I'd prefer not to have the link at this point but if if there is general consensus that this is useful to have after using it for real on Wikidata for a bit I think we should definitely consider it.
Also, is there any work/planning around marking standard units with specific properties and establishing classes (i.e. measures of length, weight, etc.) which can be considered convertible? If we want to be able to run queries against quantities with units (and I think we do, don't we?) then we would need to figure out the common basis at least for common units. I wonder if it's tracked somewhere?
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T77978 is what we have so far for that.
