Suggestion from Matt of White Horse Bricks, in response to my query below:
It would be great if they could be listed against each other as 'alternate
part numbers' in the same way as some parts do.

It would need to be in a way that the search engine and wanted lists point to
both so that people searching in sets get the part listing and vice versa.

Original Question from OOO_Shiny:
I have several new, sealed power functions pieces. They have a set number, and
then a different part number, but it is the same single item.

Examples

 
Set No: 8886  Name: Power Functions Extension Wire (20cm)
* 
8886-1 (Inv) Power Functions Extension Wire (20cm)
1 Part, 2008
Sets: Power Functions
contains only
 
Part No: 60656  Name: Electric, Power Functions Extension with one Light Bluish Gray End (length 20cm)
* 
60656 Electric, Power Functions Extension with one Light Bluish Gray End (length 20cm)
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector

and


 
Set No: 8883  Name: Power Functions M-Motor
* 
8883-1 (Inv) Power Functions M-Motor
1 Part, 2008
Sets: Power Functions
contains only part
 
Part No: 58120c01  Name: Electric, Motor 9V Power Functions M with Dark Bluish Gray Bottom
* 
58120c01 Electric, Motor 9V Power Functions M with Dark Bluish Gray Bottom
Parts: Electric, Motor

If a buyer is looking for the part, will the single part set also appear? If
not, how do I suggest an addition to the listings pointing out that they are
the same?

Also an issue for

 
Set No: 8870  Name: Power Functions Light
* 
8870-1 (Inv) Power Functions Light
1 Part, 2008
Sets: Power Functions
and

 
Set No: 8871  Name: Power Functions Extension Wire (50cm)
* 
8871-1 (Inv) Power Functions Extension Wire (50cm)
1 Part, 2009
Sets: Power Functions
