This is difficult to do correctly in all instances. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1106638/starting-stopping-a-launchd-agent-for-all-users-with-gui-sessions

Thanks a lot for the link!
What do you mean by "all instances"? As far as i understand, i need to
find a pid of some process that was launched by the current logged in
user. Finder, for example. And then execute launchctl bsexec
[finderPID] "/tmp/myloadscript". Or i am wrong? Are there any
additional pitfalls?

What about the case of additional users logged in via Fast User Switching?
And make sure you handle the case of no user logged in at all...
