There is a way. And it's standard. Read the value of CFBundleIdentifier in
the application bundle's "info.plist" file. For Safari this value is
"com.apple.Safari". You can also simply get the 'bundle identifier' of
StandardAdditions 'info for' command.

Both of those require knowing where Safari.app lives. If all I have is (application "Safari"), what's the first step?


I tried this ...

	set appsFolder to (path to applications folder)
	tell application "Finder"
		get some application file of appsFolder whose name is "Safari"
	end tell

and got an error, so I tried this ...

	set appsFolder to (path to applications folder)
	tell application "Finder"
		get some application file of appsFolder whose name is "Safari.app"
	end tell

and got what I needed. I have the Finder's "Show all file extensions" preference checked.
