I need some kind of four pin transistor that is neither common drain nor common source. Both positives and grounds need to isolated. Does that exist?

Try one of these

You could, of course explain your application further for more detailed advice.

They are called solid state relays. Usually an optocoupler in conjunction with a triac.
