I think what you will find is that the WOW addons probably wrote a special function that access a third saved variable table that stored ALL the characters data in one table, thus duplicating the data. You would have to look at how a WOW addon dealt with the scenario and see if a similar set of functions exist in ESO. Bear in mind that some things that WOW could do ESO can't, and vice versa I expect.

Character based saved variables ONLY accessible by character
Account saved variables accessible by all characters

If that is the case ESO can do the same, theoretically, ..

Create an AccountWide table for account wide data
AccountData = { var1 = "", var2 = "" }
Create a standard table for character specific data
CharData = { var3 = "", var4 = "" }
Create an AccountWide table and store a copy of the character specific data
AllCharData = { CharData1 = { var3 = "", var4 = "" }, CharData2 = { var3 = "",var4 = ""} }
etc

That way if you need to copy from character 1 to character 2 you can by copying the information from one part of the account wide table to another.
