Forgive me, but at the 2014 WikiCon in Cologne, I saw a talk that would see Wiktionary converted to a separate wikibase installation, collapsing all the wikitionary languages into items. THAT could reasonably be linked to Wikidata, or "just" cross-references via properties.
Trying to wedge the current links into Wikidata seems like a failing proposition.
