The only way that I can think of being able to have extensive data is to make a separate scraper or something of the sort to look up a location and receive information of that location via the scraper. Such a method would be hard to configure, however.

As far as I'm aware, there are no out of the box solutions to this problem.

Scrapers generally imply liberating information from hard to read sources. I think you are implying that the scraper would scrape / copy data from other copyrighted digital maps to put into OpenStreetMap.

That would not be allowed to happen with OpenStreetMap - for obvious reasons.
