well, due to Wikipedias interlanguage links, that's equally possible with Wikipedia links. That's why our Wiki suggests to add only one language version of the Wikipedia link and not multiple links. As far as I can see Wikipedia articles usually link to the corresponding Wikidata entry, so any application could get the same information regardless of us providing a Wikipedia or a Wikidata link in the OSM database.
