Why can't this property be used in Q items?

This property currently is allowed only on lexemes, but it would be nice to be able to use it in Q items as well. For example, I just worked on the item for Islamic Azad University of Tabriz (Q5963198). I recorded the official name in Persian as واحد تبرىز دانشگاه آزاد اسلامى I would also like to be able to give the ALA-LC romanization of this name: Dānishgāh-i Āzād-i Islāmī-Vāḥid-i Tabrīz. I wanted to use it as a qualifier of official name, but the constraints don't allow it. Is there another way to do this that I'm unaware of? UWashPrincipalCataloger (talk) 00:49, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
