Yes, in Mediawiki I planned to use dots for just that. Sometimes there'e
a need to distinguish Class1.PropertyName from Class2.PropertyName in
just that manner (i.e. <Class name> - dot - <property name>)
As for the arrows, one could think of using -> to refer to classes (or
in MW, Categories) and once the class (category) is reached one could
switch to dot. Thus:
Class->Class.propertyName
Example:
Self->Parent.firstName
(A Self variable to determine the context would be fine too, by the way).
One could also think of distinguishing Class/Category from property by
capital letter for Class/Category and lower case for properties? (like
in OCL) One could more lend ideas from OCL.

Assuming works at = Category(City) and located in = Category(Country):
Self.works at->located in.population

{{#ask: [[works at->located in.population::>1000000]] }} or (using Self)
{{#ask: [[Self.works at->located in.population::>1000000]] }}
...would contain more info, and still be, well, readable...
