  1. The IMDB handler (P345) just maps various id prefixes to URLs, that's best addressed by splitting the property in question (which has been discussed, but declined before). Various consumers (for example the English Wikipedia), have similar handling for separating the various kinds of IMDB ids.
  2. P213, P919 and possibly others perform simple string changes which could also be applied to the values saved. In some cases that might not be desirable, though (because the ID representation used for linking might differ from the actual ID).
  3. The cricket archive handler (P2698) uses different paths in the URL, based on the value of the id. This might be solvable splitting the property or by asking the external site to implement a more generic URL scheme.

In cases like #1 and #3 a step forward could be to get in contact with the target sites and ask for a single, well defined schema URI (or something like that). For other cases changing the saved values or splitting properties might be a way forward.
