Let me try to translate contributor speak to something actionable: That search currently finds 273 properties, starting with - author (P50 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P50>) main creator(s) of a written work (use on works, not humans); use P2093 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P2093> when Wikidata item is unknown or does not exist - lyrics by (P676 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P676>) : author of song lyrics - Dialnet author ID (P1607 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P1607>): identifier of an author in Dialnet - Dimensions author ID (P6178 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P6178>): unique identifier for an author in Dimensions - LibriVox author ID (P1899 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P1899>): author ID for an author represented at LibriVox For deciding which item to use to link another item, one would want to view only properties with datatype "Wikibase-item". However, as many external identifier properties are for authors, these appear in bulk. Sample simulation on query server: search <https://query.wikidata.org/#SELECT%20DISTINCT%20%3Fentity%20%3FentityLabel%20%3FentityDescription%20%3FentityAltLabel%0AWHERE%0A%7B%0A%20%20%3Fentity%20wikibase%3ApropertyType%20wikibase%3AWikibaseItem.%0A%20%20%3Fentity%20%28rdfs%3Alabel%7Cschema%3Adescription%29%20%3Fl.%0A%20%20FILTER%28%20LANG%28%3Fl%29%20%3D%20%22en%22%20%26%26%20REGEX%28%3Fl%2C%20%22author%22%29%20%29%0A%20%20SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%20bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22%5BAUTO_LANGUAGE%5D%2Cen%22.%20%7D%0A%7D%0AORDER%20BY%20%28%3Fl%20%21%3D%20%22author%22%40en%29> Maybe a way to solve this is to prioritize properties by datatype (first item, last external id). Search for external id properties might be done by the name of their org anyways.
