Maybe this is covered somehow, or I'll just make it as a suggestion. If
I'm looking building a set, or parting out a set, I'd love to know what
the most valuable pieces in that set are. Is there no way to do that already?
I'd love to see a sort by average price on the set inventory page!

I havent found an easy way to do this but this is how i do it

rebrickable will have a list of the parts of a given set and it will also say
on the same page how many other sets those parts are in... i then make a list
of the 10 or so parts that show up the least in other sets and check them on
BL against current selling prices.

You do that using BrickStock, import a set inventory and update the part prices
with the current price guide.
If you don't want to use BrickStock, you can do a part out of a set in BrickLink
and you can have the current average value of each part.

My advice is that if you start to be serious about BrickLink then to get used
to BrickStock, from there you can create your part lists, export your parts/wanted
list, import the orders you make, etc. Those two are integrated with each others
and at this point, I can't imagine using one without the other.

You could download BrickStock, add and part out the set, set the prices by 6
month average and sort it.
