Inside this browser plug-in I want to access the top level window pointer (window ref) of the other stand alone application which is running in a different process.

Mac OS X does not confuse "windows" with "applications" like Microsoft Windows does. There's no such thing as a "top level window pointer [...] of the other stand alone application" on Mac OS X.

Even if there was, because Mac OS X has protected memory, a pointer or reference from one process is generally not useful in another process because each process has its own, independent address space.
