I care that the item I'm looking for is there (and of course, the other items
on my list) I don't want to find a store that sells me 5 minifigures with
red pants, because in the end I'll settle for the cheapest minifigure which
contains these pants, because the main item I'm looking for is the pants.

I think I understand what you're asking for now. In my experience, the cheapest
"set" that contains the item is usually the item itself, at least for
parts. I suppose BrickLink could add a feature to the wanted list buy algorithm
that searches not only for the items you want but any items containing them,
but I don't think the results would be much different.
