I've just been experimenting with adding a quick-statements generator to https://tools.wmflabs.org/ws-search — search for something, with 'linked to wikidata = no', and then each row of the results has a popup with code you can copy and paste into quickstatements.
I don't know if that sort of thing is useful. It's not working with many fields yet, but I'm finding it faster than entering the basics manually.

Interesting.
It's a good start but I see a lot of things that need heavy improvements. I tried for br and fr Wikisources.
Most importantly not everything on Wikisource is an edition (there is disambig page and editions pages, for instance fr:s:Accroupissements a a work not an edition, it should detect that and change the P31 accordingly) Then the description is put on « Dfr "edition of Accroupissements by , Arthur Rimbaud" », it should be Den not Dfr, there shouldn't be a comma here, and ideally we should add description in multiple languages (maybe with an external bot ?). Some others data could probably easily be added (P996 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P996 and P1957 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1957 at least and maybe P1476 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1476 too)
But this has the potential to be a very good tool!
