Wikidata external-id properties are resolved to direct links to external source pages, whenever possible.

This is a great feature to allow people to do research amongst sources, and I think a similar thing should be on the OpenSanctions UI.

Take a look at https://www.opensanctions.org/entities/Q112194249/. It has a number of IDs, but only 1 leads to a page

  • Q112194249: has link, shown on bottom left
  • ua-nabc-person-14653-bushuyev-alexander-nikolaevich: no link, should link to https://sanctions.nazk.gov.ua/en/sanction-person/14653/
  • ua-nsdc-person-176-2018-213: no link, not sure this source has individual pags
  • NK-33dvfMLd6hCdByWC8Gjntp: no link, not sure which this source is

Also, it'll be much neater if you show the links right into the respective "Data sources" and "External databases" blocks.
When I'm researching about Bushuev, I want to see a link to his "Ukraine NABC Sanctions Tracker" page, and the count of entries in that list (7452) is less important for me

That's really cool feedback, I appreciate it. I need to have a think about how to process it, basically because it crosses some weird system boundary: datasets are traditionally outside of the FtM ontology. That's an artefact of it not being an RDF vocab, and the dataset boundaries doubling as authorisation contexts. So, strictly speaking, FtM entities just don't know what dataset they're in. It may be worth changing that at some point, especially because I buy the story about deep-linking the source URL, rather than having it as an array.

Note to self: I'll need to add a little lookup that ties sourceUrls to datasets in order to make this happen. Still seems worthwhile to do.
