If a 'hot link' can be created to content from an other wiki then the edit
button should also redirect to that wiki, right? Is a bug already filed for
something like that or is the 'hot link' a hack just for wikipedia?

if the edit button would go to another project, that would be utterly confusing.
You may not have an account there, the user interface may be in another
language, you don't know customs, templates, categories... no, not a good idea.

An automatic redirect like that would be to drastic in the current set-up
(multiple logins) so a message like this would be better:

"This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons. You can edit the description when
you visit the edit-page on Wikimedia Commons."

You can call it a feature, but the current method really seems like a bug.
