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.

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.
