It would be great if there was a way to say "show me all the items containing
xyz and all the people who have those for sale" (i.e. I could say "show me all
the people who have a minifig with torso abc for sale" instead of needing to
look at each minifig one by one)

Voted yes. It can only help those that need it. This feature would be useful
for wheels/tires in assemblies as well as subsets like the Advent calendar mini
sets or complete assemblies, and even perhaps sets themselves. One could set
a price threshold they are willing to pay for the complete assembly, minifig,
advent sub-set, whatnot in order to get that part. This may be not be achievable
with the current coding system, but something to consider for future site updates.
I truly don't know, but I do know that certain catalog features are not doable
at the moment.

are you referring to the wanted list and searching for a store. otherwise if
you know the torso, there is also a link that tell who sells them and which minifigs/sets
it's in. otherwise your trying to save yourself one click?

there is alot to improve when it comes to finding pars through wanted list such
as not needing to add all types of acceptable molds or combinations and in this
case all minifigs that contains it.
