I really can't tell. I have no idea about security. But if someone can
trick you into installing a malicious library in ~/.local/share/... and
then running an executable, they probably can trick you into installing
that library and running a project from the IDE.
Anyway, what about this: I enter ~/.local/share/... as the project-specific
search path. Then I have explicit access to the local libraries. The only
problem is that the path
~/.local/share/...
has the username in it so that I can't easily give such a project to
others[*]. It would be convenient if I was able to use a variable like
$HOME when giving that runtime search path.
I would like to see ~/.local/share/... more as a user-specific version of
/usr/lib, to make it short.

[*] That the project would fail to load on others' systems in this case,
until they take a look into the project themselves to correct the path
is the only point I can see where security is improved.
