Suggestion: Provide labels for wikibasecirrussearch (e.g. haswbstatement)

Use case:

As a user, I want to see user friendly descriptions of search queries involving statements.

Proposed solution

Intercept and provide labels for items and properties when the query requires them.

For example:

  1. Go to commons
  2. Enter "haswbstatement:P180=Q146" (https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=haswbstatement%3AP180%3DQ146&ns0=1&ns6=1&ns12=1&ns14=1&ns100=1&ns106=1)

Expected:

Below the search interface a message saying "Showing files with tags depicting (P180) cats (PQ146).

Actual

No label

Note: This has recently become more useful now that commons makes searching for them easier.
