You said this was a GUI app that you didn't control the sources to.
So control it anyway by renaming the binary in the bundle and
putting a stub in there that will save off the id for you and then

This is not a 'nice' thing to do to someone else's application. In a
more limited environment (say, an internal business application), it
may be reasonable, but for an at-large application (where the
application is deployed to general consumers, which have more limited
technical knowledge), I would think this rises to the level of being
unacceptable.
Problem's include:
-an updater for the application may fail in an unexpected way (both
for the developer of the application and the end-user)
-the application may be signed, and will fail to run when modified
But in the end, everyone has to decide what kind of problems they will
give the end user as part of their solution for themselves.
