Description:
At the moment there is no expose way to set a the paths that the shell could read to discover plugins code.
But internally we already have the options().plugins_path object that has that role and all the mechanism to read and apply it in: void Mysql_shell::get_plugins(File_list *file_list) mysql_shell.cc

So is mainly exposing the plugins_path and allow to pass it from configuration file or parameter. 

Adding that will allow users to launch the shell indicating which path to add to browse for plugins, on top of their own home directory.
This will make it more flexible and easier to use the shell also dynamically unbound the code location from the running user. 

How to repeat:
This is an S4 not a bug report as such there is nothing to repeat.
