Creating a package that includes a Xamarin Forms App for being launched from inside another app

Maybe this is a dumb question, I am quite new in this Xamarin world. Sorry in advance.
The thing is:
Is it possible to create a package (like a NuGet one) that includes my whole Xamarin Forms app so it can be launched / navigated to from inside another app?
I want my app to seem like is just a part of a bigger (main) application.
Why would I do something like that?
- I don't want the owners of the bigger app to have any control over my source code.
- I don't want the users to install (or to open / launch) two different apps.
- I want it to seem like a normal navigation process inside the main app.
If this is possible, what would be the best approach in order to achieve this?
Again, sorry if this looks like a dumb question. I also hope I am using this forum properly.
Thanks in advance!

Take a look at Create packages for Xamarin with Visual Studio 2017 or 2019 ,the package can be created from a .NET Standard project/libraries .
Somehow, when i tried to create the plugin it hangs during the process .
It seems that i'm not the only one who faces the issue , check https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vs-publisher-473885.PluginForXamarinTemplates&ssr=false#qna .
