The sitelinks are not used directly, they are aggregated by using the work item as a central hub. Basically the algorithm is: 1.- query all edition-items that are connected to the same work-item using "edition of" 2.- make a list of all the sitelinks used on each one of these edition-items (1 sitelink per edition-item) 3.- for each wikisource page connected to an edition-item, display the list generated on point 2
