With shipping cost being very expensive where I live I tend to order large quantities
or bricks at once to justify shipping costs. Still, making an order is extremely
expensive for the relatively few pieces I order. I would like a method to cross
reference wishlists with parts available in official sets, so I can buy the sets
that have most of the parts I need and order the remaining on bricklink. This
tool could also be useful to sellers that need to source bulk parts for unofficial
kits, or for just finding the best source of parts.

Not that it's a bad idea per se, but why exactly would Bricklink spend time
and money to implement a function that would drive users away from their site
to purchase sets in box stores instead of parts on BL?

I think that Rebrickable.com does that.
You enter parts and it tells you which set you can build.
