Thanks, The wikidata classes and properties tool is close.
http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-exports/miga/#_item=1340

Needs some work on how it calculates 'related properties' and perhaps some layout, but its intent is similar.  Looks like the answer to the question is that there isn't anything exactly like what I asked for yet, but it that it could be assembled in a days work based on the examples in the tools dir.

Now to find some one with an extra day on their hands..

thank you!
