needs ... for example: "{{subst:property_prime|date of birth}}" could be expanded and substituted to "{{#property:Pxxx}} <--date of birth-->" and everything would be stored in the Wikitext. What's wrong with this kind of solution exactly ? you did not elaborate on that.
There is nothing wrong with that. If people on the client wikis think this is sufficient, and the {{#property}} parser function does not need to support "named" access to properties, that would be fine with me. So far, I assumed that it would be very annoying to be forced to rely on IDs when using {{#property}}. But if that is fine with everybody, that's fine with me - supporting only P-ids there is much simpler than allowing access via labels or aliases.
