I love the idea of adding "brand:wikidata=Q37158" to any Starbucks object but what people see isn't the wikidata key, what they see is the contents of the name key. How to tag the name of these places is still a problem that won't disappear with Janko's solution. Unless, of course, there is a way to transfer name data from the wikidata entry to the OSM object when maps are compiled, sort of the way it's done in a relational database. That would be very cool.
