Question about ln (link)

My mind is spinning out of control trying to solve what I think should be
an easy problem.

I have an application that, when executed, opens a file in /usr/local/lib.
(For demonstration purposes, let's say this file is called
/usr/local/lib/virtvols.) I want to set up a situation so that, when the
application is executed, /usr/local/lib (or the full path to the file)
points to a different file. (Like, for example, $HOME/virtvols) I want any
other user's who run the application to point to the existing
/usr/local/lib/virtvols file.

Somehow I haven't been able to do this with links, soft-links, hard-links,
etc. (In other words, I'm stuck in link-hell.)

Any help greatly appreciated!
