It depends on the underlying OS. I am aware that such mechanism exist at least in LINUX, and one example is the one which allows changing the language environment and it might affect immediately all the (properly coded) applications.
BTW: I do not interpret the request from the user that he plans to connect two different exe applications. IMHO he plans to connect two windows opened by the same application. But I might be wrong..
