There is two pretty easy ways, which you may not have found because they were
added only a couple of months ago:

You can look at the "page information" (action=info, linked from the sidebar),
e.g.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South_Pole_Telescope&action=info>.
Near the bottom you can find "Wikidata entities used in this page".

The same information is available via an API module,
<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=wbentityusage&titles=South_Pole_Telescope>.
See
<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=query%2Bwbentityusage>
for documentation.


These URLs will list all direct and indirect usages, and also indicate what part
or aspect of the entity was used.

HTH
