I think it would be great if you could specify a default page for a property.

Here is an example of the usefulness:

I have a property of type page called "Company History". This is where a person
enters the names of all the companies they have worked for e.g. BT, Avaya,
Symbian, Nokia.

Now at the moment when a person clicks on one of these it is a red link. So is
a dead end.

If you had default=page set for the property, instead of a red link, the user
would be taken to a page that then performed some useful query. e.g.:

{{#ask:[[Category:People]]
[[Company History::{{PAGENAME}}
|? First Name
|? Surname
|? Email
}}

This would return a list off all other people in the system that had also
worked for the company. So if they click on Nokia, it would return all people
who had worked for Nokia.
