This is indeed impossible to do generally.
If you have /specific/ apps in mind (rather than 'any application'), it might be possible to tell this on an app-by-app basis at a higher level.
For example, for Safari, you could use Applescript to get the URLs of the open windows:
tell application "Safari"
get the URL of the document of every window
end tell
The way to do this will be different for every app - you'll need to work out how to do it for each app separately.
