So, I looked at Accessiblity API and NSApplication looks somewhat promising because it can give out its NSWindow children reference and there are functions to activate them. One missing piece of the puzzle though, is that I couldn't find any way to get a list of system-wide processes and create a NSApplication reference to them. Does anyone has any idea about this?
There isn't any way to create NSApplication instances for processes other than your own.
The Accessibility API (_not_ AppleScript) is clearly the right way to go here. With Accessibility you can get information about the windows in other processes, including their titles, and then compare those titles to your desired window title. AppleScript is not sufficient for this task because not all applications implement the AppleScript scripting interface that you'd need to get this info.
