This may be possible with LC, at least for desktop apps, I think even LC does this with its updater app.

But you are talking about "device", so you mean mobile?
I highly doubt this for iOS apps! :D

BTW:
Please consider to avoid writing like you talk ("ur" etc...) because:
1. this may confuse ...

so i was wondering is it possible in livecode?

for example:

you made a app in livecode it inside ur device
you run it
you have a button and it opens another app which already installed in ur device on ur stack?

OK, looks like an addressing problem.
If you "send" or "dispatch" a handler to an object that is NOT on the current card,

1. You need to supply the TYPE of object that you are addressing:
... to FIELD "table"...

dispatch "addItem" to <where do you want it go go? " with the info you want to go along goes here.

For example if you had a command that adds 2 numbers on a different stack, in a button on a ...
