Is there a way to view BGA replays from all user's perspectives all at once, instead of going through the replay one time for each user?

No.

Open one window per user. Create a script/tool that "clicks" on the next move button an all windows.

If it‘s a popular request for a specific game (for which you best open a game-specific suggestion in the bug-reports, and promote it in the specific forum), the game developer can do that. Tichu got it, see here https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37092

Any idea what you would use to do that? I don't mind looking into it, but could you point me in the right direction?

Nothing concrete, sorry. With JavaScript you can simulate a click on any element in the active window, and with an extension like Greasemonkey you can load a script for specific pages. But I don't know if a script can act on multiple windows. However, I'd bet it should be possible to find tools for most desktop environments that programmatically change window focus and run commands. So I would probably do something like:

1. Create a BGA JavaScript that "clicks" on next move.
2. Assign it to some keyboard shortcut and load it with Greasemonkey
3. Create a desktop script that cycles through all browser windows and "presses" shortcut #2
4. Assign it to some keyboard shortcut.

Perhaps Tof63 could add something to simplify the process in his browser extension.
