Bene added a subscriber: Bene. Bene added a comment. One option which comes into my mind is to reuse exactly the same reference, and use an URI for it, so that each reference will become an entity itself. This however requires heavy refactoring of the current system, mainly the datamodel and the database structure (so almost everywhere...)
I like the idea of having a dropdown menu to add existing references. However, this should perhaps be a gadget on Wikidata instead of being in Wikibase core. Another option, which should be considered as well is improving the property suggester to also include suggestions on values. This will help to propose existing values (as @Yair_rand pointed out). The suggestions should put much value into the entity the references belong to so that the suggestions will likely propose references already added to the same item. (For clarification, both features can and should exist at the same time.)
