Closing for now because this won't be implemented in the near future. Also some doubts about usefulness have surfaced e.g. if it's a good idea to have to update multiple, maybe very different projects, simultaneously.

Reactivating this issue after 6 years. With the kind help of Birger (Plank) we managed to got it running with setting an environment variable in the openatlas.wsgi file (and runserver.py for local instances), see the feature/multi_instance branch.
There are still some issues like a hard coded path to find the application, like e.g.
sys.path.append('/usr/local/openatlas/')
Besides being 'hackish' this would also don't work because it is in Git tracked files (openatlas.wsgi and runserver.py).
Not sure what to do about that, using a system wide Python path isn't an option too because it would restrict using different versions of OpenAtlas (e.g. productive and development versions).
And of course everything has to be thoroughly checked and tested but it looks quite promising.
Another approach could be application dispatching, see: https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/stable/patterns/appdispatch/#combining-applications
