Thanks Daniel! Actually coordinates were just an example. The idea is to be able to define multiple mappings on a property based on parts of a property instance value.
You are doing a great work already and this was not to push you into this direction, just to avoid work duplication. This has not to do with mapping Wikidata to RDF directly but converting it to other vocabularies. In many cases something like a owl:equivalent Property is enough, sometimes something like the formatURL property is needed and in cases like the coordinates more advanced processing is required. It would be great if all this could be stored directly in Wikidata but I guess an import would be easy once you can.
