Could ZOS do it? Yes - probably by redesigning their whole data base access and game checks from the ground up. I.e. by making a new game.
Logging into a character is not just about a few stats and an inventory list.
And no, addons are not the issue.
Importantly this would need to be an additional option, not a replacement for the current system.
I understand that for some people it would sometimes be useful to be able to quickly replace one character with another, but for me (and I suspect a lot of other people) it would be very annoying to have my characters pulled out of what they were doing and dumped into a completely different area when I switch to playing them.
My characters are not all interchangable bundles of skills and gear, they're in different places because they're doing different things and if that got messed up every time I swapped from one to the other it'd probably be the final thing that got me to stop playing.
Also considering ZOS doesn't even let you use the armoury assistant to change builds on the character you're playing while you're in a trial I think it's highly unlikely they'd let you switch to a different character in the middle of one.
I say this is an good idea, if you and your alt is at same location like an city or house, its no need to reload the zone just swap character.Answering the question, is there a way? No, there is not, as the only way to change characters is to go to the character select screen.
Could Zenimax make this happen? Of course, they could. Maybe they will in a future QoL update. I think it is a long shot and even less likely the new choice would be located where the former character was.
It would be nice if groups participation was tied to account rather than character, so if you switch toons, the leader doesn't have to kick character A and invite character B.
But once you are logged in to character B, it's a simple "travel to leader" to get to where the rest of the group is. No need to disturb everyone's gameplay by dragging characters across the map.

Then people wouldn't be able to be in groups with themselves anymore. More people need to get into the habit of actually leaving the group when they swap.
One simple answer to the 'swap characters when in a dungeon/group' issue would be that the character swapped to would not be in the dungeon and/or group, because it wasn't to start with, the character swapped to would be wherever it was previously., and not automatically replace the first character in whatever group or location the first character was in.
