Your idea

The documentation at https://support.audacityteam.org/basics/customizing-audacity/installing-plugins should state that you can put plugins of several types (not only LADSPA but at least also VST3) into the directory %AppData%\audacity\Plug-ins on Windows.

Also, it seems like there are similar user-accessible directories on other OS that are not documented, see audacity/audacity#5746.

Problem to be solved

I didn’t know I could do that as a non-admin user. Neither did the Audacity help forum or the documentation.

I vaguely remember there being a class of plugins for which the user directory was not an option because the spec said so.
