There is no API for doing this, as far as I know. There is, however,
SPI which exists back across all OS X releases as far as I know:

extern OSStatus _LSCopyAllApplicationURLs(CFArray *outURLs);

However, since this is SPI the standard disclaimers apply: it is
subject to removal without warning at any time, you should
conditionalise your use of it, etc etc.

You should also file a bug at http://bugreport.apple.com/ asking for a
supported way to do this.
