There's no problem accessing a window by its (application specific!)
ID by AppleEvents / AppleScript.
(Must have been decades since you last opened Script Editor, Uli :-) ).
Of course this depends on the application supporting AppleEvents...
Just run this script in Script Editor:
tell application "<otherApplication>"
properties of every window
end tell
Look at the result to see whether there´s an ID property.
Since I guess Benedict is working in the sphere of Accessibility
anyway, it might indeed be more appropriate to just call AXRaise on
the AXWindow element.
The reason I proposed AppleEvents was because he was asking for
adressing the window by its ID.

Not sure you can use that information for anything (I don't think
AppleScript deals in Window IDs, but that may have changed since I
last had to put up with it). You may have more luck using the
accessibility APIs to both list the windows and then bringing one
to front.
