Too limited for practical use with any larger data-sets (and this is the only place where it would be needed). There clearly is a potential, but it should be developed further to reach that.

Incredibly helpful for harvesting info. I only wish I could grab links to Wikipedia from Wikidata IDs. Brilliant tool though.

Automatic Wikidata lookups, combined with automated lookups of specific Wikidata properties, make this an incredibly useful tool for querying Wikidata and for reconciling databases.
