Hi Team !

Schema.org mapping is progressing on every new Weekly Summary "Newest properties" listing.
That's great !  And thanks to Léa and team for providing the new properties listing !

What's not great, is many times, we cannot apply a "broader external class" to map to a Schema.org Type.  This is because "broader concept" https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P4900 is constrained to "qualifiers only and not for use on statements".

We are able to use the existing "narrower external class" , for example like here on this topic, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7406919 , but there is no "broader external class" property in Wikidata yet from what we see.

It would be awesome if someone could advocate for that new property to help map Wikidata to external vocabularies that have broader concepts quite often, such as Schema.org.

Could you give 2-3 specific examples, to help motivate the request, for folk who're not tracking this work?
