Hoi,
If anything Wikidata has replaced the interwiki links for both Wikipedia
and Wikivoyage. Wikidata DOES allow links to images on Commons and Commons
categories already. In Commons it is known where images are used.
There is no way in which it is wise to abandon all that.
Once Wikidata replaced the interwiki links, many things had to be
re-arranged to accomodate the changed situation. When Wikidata is to be
used in an optimal way it makes sense to have a plan on what functionality
can be created with the new technology. With Wikidata it is for instance
possible to have multilingual tags.
This is not to say that what has been done is wrong or what has been done
was not worthwhile, it is to say let us move in a direction that will
provide a much improved functionality.
Thanks,
GerardM
