For most parts, which are commonly available, I have my wanted list set up with
the following option:
In View and E-Mail Notifications, Include only Items in Stores which are Located:
In Country: USA
This way I'm not bombarded with notifications for items in stores I'm
not likely to purchase, because of high shipping charges.

However, there are rare parts which infrequently show up in USA, but sometimes
are available in Europe. I would like an option, within the item, to have wanted
notifications regardless of location settings. This would be available both on
the "add item" screen as well as the "edit item" screen. Or, similar to how the
"notify" checkbox already functions. Or, have this as an option for entire want
lists - I could set up my main want lists and have a special want list just for
items I dont care where they are sourced from - because in those instances I
am willing to pay for them

Thanks for considering this suggestion for the revamped bricklink!

Unless you are talking about many items why not just make a wanted list called
world-wide and put those items on that list? Items can be on more than one list.

to clarify - you can't have an instance of an item on 2 wanted lists, but
you can have 2 instances of a part on 2 different wanted lists.

It would be nice if it shows the list names in stores - but since it shows remarks...

Yes, I can do what you have suggested, but I cannot change my wanted list settings
for each wanted list, only globally. I want to be notified via email for any
country on specific items, but not my whole wanted list.
