How would you use these features? Do you want to see a list of all items that
appear as, say, extras? Or do you want to take a specific part and find all the
sets in which it appears as an extra?

I've wanted this functionality in the past, but can't recall just why.
So I'll answer your question by mentioning the situation that prompted me
to post this suggestion.

This set includes two minifigures as counterparts:

 
Set No: 3041  Name: Big Bucket of Fun
* 
3041-1 (Inv) Big Bucket of Fun
464 Parts, 1998
Sets: Universal Building Set: Classic Basic

I wanted to know how many sets include figures as counterparts, but could not
search for this information. With the feature I'm asking for I could use
the advanced search to find all the sets with figures inventoried as counterparts.

The requested features would probably be most useful to those working on the
catalog and its inventories, but others may find them useful as well.
