Just come across this concept although have have yet to come across a requirement for it. I take it we are referring to this article.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/manage/shared-package-container
If that is the case, I agree with the comments so far with it needing to be configured to allow a user launching the application to be able to communicate with other user installed MSIX packages.
It would also be worth noting that this sort of configuration feels like App-V virtual environments and there was an option in MECM to manage this by creating the relationships and it would process the xml configuration at the point of deployment. If this is intended to be an enterprise solution, it needs to be offereed in a way that it can be managed across the enterprise desktop estate.

Yes, like AppV we would like to combine two packages into one like a Connection Group (AppV).
If would be nice to combine an AppX with a MSIX package as well.
Example: AppX Power BI Desktop and an MSIX package with the middleware for the AppX package, like Oracle, Teradata etc connector drivers for Power BI Desktop
