Lookup for external identifier is mostly needed in _javascript_ (e.g. notify user that wikidata instance with the same imdb-id already exists) and can be implemented either via Markus resolver or directly via sparql endpoint (e.g. https://ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=84445799). I can imagine some use cases where it would be nice to have it in lua (e.g. for additional decoration of wikipdate articles), but its exotic stuff. In contrast, building lists andbased on wikidata is more straightforward case and must be pure severside (for performance reasons), so I'd see a need for backlinks in lua.
That may or may not be true but this issue seems extremely similar to that requested in T149108 which was closed as a duplicate of T99899 and thus I drew the relation between the two.
