Is there a better way to tell the frontmost app to do something than the
following?

tell getFrontApplication() to display dialog "Hello"

on getFrontApplication()
tell application "Finder"
set theList to name of every process whose frontmost is true
end tell
return application (theList as string)
end getFrontApplication

Not any better way that I know.

Unless the frontmost app is the same app which is running the script, in which case you just don't need any "tell".
