What you're looking for sounds like AppImages (https://appimage.org/) . I have only used them while downloading games from itch.io, etc. (since I prefer package managers) but they seem to work out of the box on popular distros. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
Ideally a new instance of the application is installed for each user. This also provides better isolation if one user upgrades/removes/breaks their application instance.
