Actually the current way is precisely what LD_LIBRARY_PATH does for relocatable installs. The loader first looks in the rpath $ORIGIN path, then in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, then in system directories. Wine does exactly the same thing.
I did a quickie review of 'rpath'. It isn't standard, though, is it? I'm not using it with my APP.exe.so. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is searched first on my system.
Yes, it's pretty standard (or has equivalent on other platforms). Wine itself uses it.
Anyway, is the next step that I (or Hin-Tak) submit a patch and you bless it or not?
The first step would probably be to explain why you need to have an app with the same name as an existing builtin.
