Is it possible to create a Document Level Excel Customization with Office Addins?

VBA and VSTO can create workbook level customizations. Is it possible to reach the same with Office Addins?

Suppose a scenario like this: In the same company, a person use 2 Excel applications, each with its specific ribbons. When I use application A, I don't want to see ribbons from B and vice-versa.

Is this a predicated scenario using Office Addins or the idea is that it is only suitable for application level customization?

Edit for clarification: In a company, I work with 2 main workbooks: Sales.xlsx and HumanResources.xlsx. When I open the workbook Sales.xlsx, I want to see the ribbon groups that belong to actions that manipulate Sales data, visualization, specific commands, etc. When I open the workbook HumanResources.xlsx, I want to see the equivalent for Human Resources. When I open a blank workbook or a generic worksheet from the e-mail, I don't want to see any ribbon tabs from those workbooks at all.

I want to specifically direct the ribbons for only one workbook, like document level customization from VSTO.

In other words: I don't want that the ribbons/task panes from Office Add-ins I created displays in every workbook I open. Not only "displays", I don't want them to load at all.

At this point, the application level functionality is limited as it is a desktop specific scenario. App level settings, cross-workbook actions are part of our roadmap discussions. Though we don't have dates available for them. When you mention, a person uses "2 applications" - can you elaborate more?
