Create visual permalinks for item statements and values
Open, LowPublic

Description

Right now, there is no way to visually copy a permalink to a specific statement within an item. Some items can be rather extensive and have many statements, so it would be useful to have a way to point someone to an exact statement (or a specific value of a statement) for an item, rather than having them scroll through and search manually.

It is possible to construct such link, for example for earth https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2, if I wanted to point someone to mass, I could make this manual link https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2#P2067, or even link to a specific value inside a statement group like this: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2#Q2$7c05b6ca-4536-36c8-9847-199d4c310bdc

This would also be useful to get people used to linking specific values in statements, so that when the majority of Wikipedia (or at least the infoboxes) is using values straight from Wikidata, people are more familiar with this process.

It would great to have a link or "Copy permalink" button against every statement. It would enable WikiData users to easily copy and send or post it anywhere I want.

And so that the received or a reader of this link could see a correct statement-related page preview, like for any normal URL.

Other than that...

If I have some statement in one of the language versions of Wikipedia (especially backed by a good reference), I wish I could be able to somehow export in into Abstract Wikipedia. If it would be available there, contributors to smaller language versions of Wikipedia could import it from there using natural language generators for their language.

There is currently a huge functionality gap but for the early prototypes we could make statements-related features of WikiData richer.

I would elevate the priority of this feature.

I agree that we should have this.
In the meantime there is a script by @Nikki that you can add to your commons.js with this line:

importScript("User:Nikki/AnchorLinks.js")

@Nikki I'm wondering if this should be turned into a gadget?

Any news? I wish there would be buttons to get a URL https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2/P2067/Q3944 for a statement: "The Earth is located in the in the Local Group of Galaxies".
Or even (constructed based on labels) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Earth/isLocatedIn/LocalGroup/
