I admit that I didn't consider so far works by multiple authors; nevertheless a simple convention "put work page as subpage of first author" should solve the issue. Consider that I'm only thinking about a comfortable location for those works - they contain a #property:author call that retrieves the whole list of authors from the work element. 

As soon as I'll find some molti-author items into it.source I'll try in practice. 

Did you take a look to the code of out test work pages? I post this by bot:

*''Autore'': {{#property:autore}}

*''Titolo'': {{#property:titolo}}

*''Genere artistico'': {{#property:genere artistico}}

*''Lingua originale'': {{#property:lingua originale}}

*''Data di creazione'': {{#property:P571}}

*''Edizione'': {{#property:edizione}}

<onlyinclude>{{#switch:{{{1}}}

|autore= {{subst:#property:autore}}

|titolo= {{subst:#property:titolo}}

|genere artistico= {{subst:#property:genere artistico}}

|lingua originale= {{subst:#property:lingua originale}}

|data di creazione= {{subst:#property:P571}}

|edizione= {{subst:#property:edizione}}

|

}}</onlyinclude>

[[Categoria:Opere di {{BASEPAGENAME}}|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] [[Categoria:Opere]]

subst: into onlyinclude section transform the code into:

{{#switch:{{{1}}}
|autore= Silvio Pellico
|titolo= Le mie prigioni
|genere artistico= memorie
|lingua originale= italiano
|data di creazione=
|edizione= Le mie prigioni (Bocca, 1832)
|
}}

So, the page converts into a normal template returning any data wrapped into switch; {{Autore:Silvio Pellico/Le mie prigioni|edizione}} returns Le mie prigioni (Bocca, 1832).

Your idea is very interesting, but how to deal with works made by two or more authors?

[[WORKTITLE]] pointing to [[NewCustomNS:WORKTITLE]] containing a {{magicWikidataTemplate}} that automatically embebeds metadata from the associated [[d:QXXX]] page (including authorship metadata automagicallybeing set as categories) makes more sense to me.

Wikidata property values are effectively retrieved by #property inclusion syntax, but it work only when used into the wikisource page directly linked to a wikidata element. 

An effective management of a  "book" (best, a literary work) needs creation of two different elements ("work" and "edition"); ns0 wikisource pages can be linked to "edition" wikidata element just as Author: pages are linked to author's wikidata element; on the contrary, presently there's no wikisource page that could be  linked to "work" wikidata element, so the data of the latter can't be retrieved into wikisource by #property inclusion syntax.

I'm testing a strange idea: to create wikisource "work" pages as subpages of author's page. It seems a nonsense location, but it has a long series of advantages and few disadvantages IMHO:

* omonimies decrease sharply;

* there's a logical and implicit link between author and his works;

* work pages can be very simply self-categorized as [[Category:Works by {{BASEPAGENAME}}]]

* joining {{#property:...}} and {{subst:#property:...}} codes, such work pages both show data and run as templates to access the data from any other page.

* the code can be completely standardized and can be easily created/updated by bot, simply posting the same base code into any work page, new or old. 

Tests are going on working using https://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Autore:Silvio_Pellico and its related wikidata elements.
