Of course, it has implications for how to define these occurrences (truth-makers, right [1]?), which we need to come to terms with together.
For example, I think this makes sense:

   << :wed-1 | :liz :spouse :richard >> .
   << :wed-1 | :richard :spouse :liz >> .
   :wed-1 a :Marriage ;
       :starts 1964 ;
       :ends 1974 .

Would you agree?

Yes, it does.

If so, how about:

   PREFIX : <https://schema.org/>

   << <#bp23> | <book> :datePublished "2023" >> .
   << <#bp23> | <book> :publisher <X> >> .
   <#bp23> a :PublicationEvent ;
       :location <London> .

It does make sense.
To better see that, you can verbalise the triple term (the truth-bearer) as a definite description:
you are saying that “the publication of <book> in 2023” and “the publication of <book> by <X>” in that graph snippet both refer indeed to a single publication event located in London; and, clearly, those triple terms (as definite descriptions) could refer to something different in other parts of your graph.
