If I understand you correctly, your are looking for a way to describe different
meanings or facettes of a *word*, building clusters based on what other concept
each of these meanings is related to.
Since Wikidata does not (yet) deal with words at all, we can only defer this
until we do (see the Wikidata/Wiktionary proposal). But others have done this:
have a look at the "Wortschatz" project by the University of Leipzig:
http://corpora2.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/res.php?corpusId=deu_newscrawl_20…
The graph at the bottom shows clusters of collocations for each meaning/facette.
It's a bit hard to find good examples though, usually one meaning is very dominant.

Yes, in a way it is more about representation that anything else, but it also
has to do with the conceptual framework. In the current organization it is
assumed that I want to know about an specific Q item, whereas in my thinking
about signals I would prefer to have an overview of all items that are related
to a keyword.
For instance if I enter Chopin, either I have to select one item from a list or
I have to perform a search, there is no middle way of displaying an overview of
all items grouped by the kind of relationship that they might have to the
keyword chopin. In a way it is a bit like creating a disambiguation page on the
fly, with the added difficulty of grouping elements that belong together. For
instance if I search Bach, it would make sense to group people with the string
"bach" related to the same family together, and divide it by topic, like a
sort
of disambiguation page for data:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bach_%28disambiguation%29
What is difficult is to find an automatic arrangement that works for most
situations, or explore a different way of creating data disambiguation pages,
perhaps based on current disambiguation items. Is there any way to make this
item more useful with some visualization of items it disambiguates?
