Susanna, Did you read my mind? I have exactly the same questions!! For my
own work on artworks where I am searching individual files for upload to
both Commons and Wikidata, I have created my own tool to prepare an artwork
template for commons at the same time as creating a new item on Wikidata
(using quick statements).

The only tools I am aware of are the ones Magnus has so kindly made
available to use. Personally I use the "create Commons creator template
from a Wikidata biographical item" and modify the output slightly to create
a category as well, when I find artworks on Commons that are as yet
uncategorized. Unfortunately there is no "Create a Wikidata item from this
file with artwork template on Commons", but I would love to have that too.
Maybe worth creating a wish for the wishlist survey on Meta for this?

Best, Jae
