No, this does not make sense - witktionary is very different in its 
contents. But it makes sense to link between from these projects to UW 
(or now Wiktionary) and from there to the projects. We already do this 
partly. Often it is important that you can see how a word is used in 
context and sometimes it is good if within a text you have a link to the 
definition of a word, in particular if you are talking about very 
specific things that could be difficult to understand for others.

Language courses on Wikibooks for example are a logical way to link from 
the book to wiktionary/UW and add defintions and translations there.

Of course, thinking about translations in literature we often need 
quotations and how they are translated - it would make sense to have 
quotations and/or proverbs translated in as many languages as possible. 
So this could be a use for wikidata.

Ciao, Sabine
