Copied from: Extension talk:Wikibase Client/Lua#Retrieving an ID knowing only a property value?

Is it possible to use any extension to retrieve a QID based on a property value within mediawiki? For example, knowing an author's ORCID number, and returning their QID within mediawiki?

Something like wikibase.getEntityIdForPropertyValue(Property, Value)
Such that wikibase.getEntityIdForPropertyValue(P496,'0000-0002-6779-3151') → Q4693015

Any ideas welcomed!

its possible using https://query.wikidata.org . It is also possible using the search feature - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:WikibaseCirrusSearch#haswbstatement

However, i am not aware of how to do this in lua.
