Hmm. I would be inclined to violate IRI opacity at this point and have
a convention that says that any schema.org property schema:ppp can have
a sister property called schema:pppList, for any character string ppp.
So you ought to check schema:knowsList when you are asked to look for
schema:knows. Then although there isn't a link in the conventional
sense, there is a computable route from schema:knows to
schema:knowsList, which as far as I am concerned amounts to a link.
Schema.org doesn't suffer from this issue as much as other vocabularies do
as it isn't defined with RDFS but uses its own, looser description
mechanisms such as schema:domainIncludes and schema:rangeIncludes. So what
I'm really looking for is a solution that would work in general, not just
for some vocabularies.

I would like to see some firm definition of just how these looser description
mechanisms actually work.
