For your example I'd say that isn't really possible indeed. But take for example a country. Someone wants to add http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P30 to indicate which continent this country is on. Across all of Wikidata this property should have a very limited number of values. The same is true for things like the sex of a person. And then for something a bit more advanced: there are things like the property father. The suggested values for this should be other items that are persons. http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:List_of_properties has the list of all current properties. I am sure you can find more such cases. Hope that makes it clearer.
