Description of a Blowgun Dart: "These thin, light darts are typically made of hardwood and stabilized with fletching of down or fur. They are often hollow so they can be used to deliver poison."
While I understand that the offset would be that you deal 1 damage before the effect, it can lead to interesting builds.

Nope, not possible. You could always homebrew it if you like but bear in mind you'd either end up having it be an immense buff to these if you allow the players to ignore Armor Class and DRASTICALLY reduce the Action cost associated with using/delivering them or a HUGE nerf to them in that you'll be missing between 40-70% of the time depending on how well armored the ally is and wasting the item.

There is Healing Bomb.
Combining that with Alchemical Shot looks like it would work. You could at least apply the Elixir of Life or other Healing Bomb alchemical item to the ammunition. Under a strict reading of the rules, the Strike with the weapon would only apply the damage that the bomb does, not any healing or other effects.

But isn't life shot a gun only thing?

Yes. It is ammunition for a firearm.
I don't think we currently have any way of making a blowgun that delivers healing potions or elixirs. Despite what the flavor/lore of the blowgun dart says, the game mechanics don't allow for it.
There are several options that are similar. And you could certainly use those as a basis for homebrewing a balanced item or feat that did allow blowgun darts to deliver healing.

Probably just say that life shot works for blowguns. Mechanically they are the same. Reload one and all that.
