Improve Wikidata handling of duplicate references in model and UI Open
Description
A RfC on Wikidata in 2024 (d:Wikidata:Requests for comment/Duplicate References Data Model and UI) found that the present modeling of references in Wikidata (and, more generally, in Wikibase) has some redundances, both in the JSON storage and in the UI. In order to improve the user experience, both for editors and for data reusers, it would be necessary to rethink about how references are managed both in the JSON storage and in the UI. This would also be beneficial considering the growing size of Wikidata: reducing useless redundances would save archival space and make much easier for data reusers to deal with Wikidata's data.
