If I understand what you're asking, you want the 'modifies' property to
point to properties on another resource.
I'm afraid this can't be done the way you're trying to go about it.
This isn't XML you're working with, where you could address tags. This
is what you've actually got --- 5 triples:
:obj1 a :Object ;
:prop1 "test1" ;
:prop2 "test2" ;
:hasModifier :m1 .
:m1 a :Modifier .
What you're trying to do is label those properties on :obj1, and point
at them. As these are triples, you can't do that --- they have no
label.
Your closest workaround is to use reification in one of two ways.
Either by making a "modification" object, and have that point to (a)
the object whose property is being modified and (b) the property which
is being modified (not a precise science, unless you restrict the
cardinality of those properties to be <= 1), or by reifying :prop1 and
:prop2, and pointing directly to the reified resources.
Hope that helps,
