No, that's not what I'm asking for, which is BOTH linking AND unlinking ability 
for relations/attributes/properties--not just one or 
the other.

I see this on the help page for SMW 1.0.  Maybe they did what you want, which 
is to unify "::" and ":="
http://ontoworld.org/wiki/Help:Annotation
-----------------------------------------
   "Relations" and "Attributes" in earlier versions

In earlier versions of SMW, properties that are links were known as relations. 
They used double colons :: between the
property and the link text. For now double colon still works but colon-equals 
is the new standard.

In earlier versions of SMW, properties that aren't links (numbers, strings, 
etc.) were known as attributes.

SMW 1.0 unifies relations and attributes into the single namespace Property, 
the single property assignment operator :=,
and makes the default datatype of a property a Type:Page.
-----------------------------------------

In any case, you say you need to create a link for but "relation" and 
"attrivute". But for an attribute such as
[[population:=3,396,990]] how would you link to the number 3,396,990?  There is 
no separate article page for it.
(That's why a link is only for a "relation" that has its own article page.)
