This is great. I'm not yet really up on Wikidata, but why's it a URL? How does the "scan file (Commons)(P996)" property work? This one is doing a similar thing to that. I guess we can't have a Wikisource Index data type though. :(
Anyway, what I wanted to ask was whether anyone could tell me how one can get from an Index page, to the mainspace work's page (to get the Wikidata item for the work)? Because at the moment it's a matter of following the link found in the #ws-title table cell and sometimes there's more than one link there, so it gets confusing. Also, many editions span more than one Index. Ah... or is that what's going to be solved with this property? Because at the moment, there's no hard and fast way to do this, but if every index was referenced in Wikidata from an edition's page, then it'd be simple. Is that the idea? Of course, a script would perhaps just update the unambiguous cases, and leave the odd ones to us humans. (Sorry, I'm not being very coherent... I'll start learning more about wikidata I think!) -sam.
