TASK DESCRIPTION
When a property has 'item' datatype, this can be entered either by directly
typing the item ID, eg `Q123`, or by typing the item label or alias, eg
`September`.
Pasting in the Q-number from somewhere else is a pretty common practice when
entering values, especially if the item has a very common name ("John Smith")
or doesn't have a label in the currently used language.
Unfortunately, most uses of item IDs on Wikidata show the ID in brackets -
`September (Q123)`. This means that copying-and-pasting often picks up a
surplus pair of brackets that have to be removed. Would it be possible for the
system here to identify `(id)` as a valid ID and accept it? A number of
external tools (eg Magnus's mix-and-match) can handle bracketed IDs and it
would be good if Wikidata proper could as well.
