I would find more logical to make links between databases with queries 
rather by adding external references in one or the other. The later 
looks like the poor man job (oversimplifying, I don't want to put down 
the great job done at Wikidata).
I have the feeling that wikidata references add visibilty to OSM data, 
but no content. On the contrary, for an OverpassAPI query to succeed, 
you need good OSM data.
