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?
Is there a transistor that acts like a relay?

SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the need for a four-pin transistor that isolates both positive and ground connections, specifically seeking alternatives to common drain or common source configurations. The recommended solution is to utilize solid state relays, which typically employ an optocoupler in conjunction with a triac. The mention of silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) suggests a focus on devices that can handle similar functions in isolation applications.
