Not right now, as far as I know.

Of course, two of the main use of arbitrary access are the possibility of
retrieving
* author metadata
* book metadata

and use them where you need.

For example, Ricordisamoa is doing some experiment here:
https://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Utente:Ricordisamoa/sandbox

Pay attention to the dates, and then go in Edit mode: you'll see that he
put a "Wikidata" element, and in that the value is the Wikidata item for
Alessandro Manzoni.
This retrieves the birth date and death date from the item.

We could rewrite all our Author modules in Lua for authors, and put all our
authors in Wikidata.
That is probably the first thing we should do.
