Is it possible to load a wasm runtime separately from the binary that requires it?

Say I have a web application written in Go that compiles to web assembly.

Is it possible for developers to ship the runtime separately from the main application code where separate binaries containing the application code use/share the runtime?

e.g.

First we load https://myserver.com/go-wasm-1-13.wasm

Then we load https://myserver.com/app-1.wasm

app-1.wasm uses the runtime to execute itself

Later we may load app-2.wasm which would share the same go-wasm-1-13.wasm

Following binaries on different pages could take advantage of the runtime (go-wasm-1-13.wasm) being cached

WebAssembly supports dynamic linking. So it's possible only if one can compile the Go runtime as a shared library.
