That’s a rather problematic issue. For a start, there is several different linguistic version of WP, each with slightly different rules. So you may need to update each WP when there is a fork, which is a daunting task. Being able to list the difference in each language is also going to be a chore.

The biggest problem is that Wikidata do not allow to add free form text to explain why choose a link over another (and doing so would bring back the translation problem). This and the fact this is not user friendly, or at least, not like a browser + web page, so you would need another frontend, and that can’t be a webpage controlled by the project.

Wikipedia and wikidata work together: for instance the software infobox of Thunderbird in French gets content from wikidata to display them in the page, possibly mixed with free form text. Another example, which is closer to what I had in mind, is the table displaying the Session Parlementaires of the XIVe législature de la Cinquième République française, also getting facts from wikidata.
