Your idea is very interesting, but how to deal with works made by two or
more authors?

[[WORKTITLE]] pointing to [[NewCustomNS:WORKTITLE]] containing a
{{magicWikidataTemplate}} that automatically embebeds metadata from the
associated [[d:QXXX]] page (including authorship metadata
automagicallybeing set as categories) makes more sense to me.
