I am not very sure about Linux stuff. I work on Windows and Mac OS.

We can For sure change the path of application path on MAC. 
And on windows it happens in few cases.

Thanks for interest. 

However the problem is still open as

Linux uses applications that are in the path, or you have to specify
the exact path to the application. I think this is also the same with
Windows. Not sure about Mac.

So I guess you either have to know your application's full path, or
make sure that the path to the application is in the system path.

I'm not sure if there's any kind of automated application discovery
protocol to let you search for applications (think Zeroconf for
locating applications...).

Hope that helps,
Srdjan
