I did try with the factory approach but I was only able to gain access to one of the plugin.

I have build a single shared library called MultiplePlugins that contains two plugins SourcePlugin and SinkPlugin but I have not found a way to iterate the individual factory method [...] BOOST_DLL_ALIAS(SinkPlugin::create, create_plugin) [...] BOOST_DLL_ALIAS(SourcePlugin::create, create_plugin)

You can't have two symbols in the same library with the same name/alias; that's either a linker error or one will shadow the other. You'll have to use one of the other techniques to find symbols to load, such as using a named section instead of a named alias.
