Can do, but this can get quite complicated. Example:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2917717#P180
There have to be "target search" (e.g. "bull"), zero to many qualifiers
(some qualifier properties may be used several times in a single statement,
like "applies to part"), some of these should be offered by default because
they occur often ("applies to part"), with optional default values
("foreground", "right"), while allowing arbitrary values ("sky")...
Any development should also take the upcoming Commons Wikibase into
account, so the code can be re-used to annotate any Commons image.
This all calls for a separate tool, rather than shoehorning it into e.g.
the Distributed Game. Some planning, on-wiki, with "community buy-in" might
not be too outrageous a suggestion, surely?
