Here, I am thinking of something like
https://tools.wmflabs.org/author-disambiguator/?fuzzy=0&limit=1&name=Li%20Li
but instead of the name parameter, it would be called via a work parameter that expects the QID of a given work (optionally via DOI/ PMID/ PMCID/ arXiv ID etc., e.g. by using the Wikidata Hub).

This would address the same problem as #66 but should be more straightforward to implement.

The idea being, you start from that publication and the links from the author name strings would go to name pages for those names? I'll have to think about it, but in principle I think it makes sense... I'm afraid I've been a bit busy with other priorities but I do plan to get back to updating this tool in the next week or two...

Yes, the key idea is to have a page for one work which ideally lists all author name strings for that work and links them to the corresponding name pages.

This would look very similar to the example given above, with the main difference being that right now, the limit=1 part does not give the user control over which work to display (for me, it's https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q21131061 right now), whereas the new mechanism would allow to specify something like &work=Q21131061 or similar.
