My case was not a common one but let me put it as an example here. In ukwiki there is a traditional template for talk pages of articles translated from another language, with editor ideally putting the id of version the article was translated from. I once had to correct a bunch of incorrectly used version ids. My workflow on desktop looked like this: open the talk page in ukwiki, observe the problematic id → go to the article tab → go to the article history page, look up the creation date → go to article tab → switch languages → go to the history of that page, look up the respective version id → switch languages back → go to the talk page, edit it. (Without the last two steps if using different browser tabs). Going from history page to history page would be generally useful when dealing with translated articles: there is sometimes a need to check how did the source article looked like at the moment of translation (e.g. to make sense of a badly translated part, to check whether there really was such a part there etc.). In ukwiki village pump @Olvin suggested <https://uk.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Вікіпедія:Кнайпа_(технічні_питання)&diff=29740221&oldid=29740035&diffmode=source> that we have a link from a talk page to article (rather that talk-page-to-talk-page). I agree, since talk page discussions might refer to other language versions of //articles// that editors would want to look up.
