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
