This would be useful for copy-pasting, but how would it interact with people manually typing IDs? It's not very common, but especially for very short/frequently used IDs (and definitely for properties), it can be easier to type eg "Q27" than "Republic of Ireland". Would the entity selector jump in if you hesitated after typing Q2... and decide to autoselect "Earth" instead? Similarly we have an item for the Q27 bus route (Q83516200) and I can see all sorts of confusion if typing that into an item selector and pausing autofills to Ireland. I can imagine that most of these are relatively minor collisions and only relevant for IDs with maybe 1-3 digits, but they're still a concern.
