Can't blacklist an app with no bundle ID

I play Final Fantasy XIV through wine using the XIV on Mac project (https://www.xivmac.com). The launcher has a bundle ID, but the game itself doesn't since it's not a Mac app. And there's a problem where if AltTab is running, when I switch away from the game and back, it often hangs, sometimes for just a second, someties for long enough that I get logged out. So I want to blacklist the game, except AltTab only supports blacklisting by bundle ID and the game doesn't have one.

It would be great if there was a way to do a blacklist by process name instead. Or executable path, though I'm not quite sure how that works in this case; the game is launched via an executable written to a temporary directory, so the full path there changes, but the path to the windows .exe is static, and I'm not sure which path ends up associated with the running app. But using the application's localizedName would work. Either way, however it's done, I really want to be able to blacklist the game so I can stop having to quit AltTab every time I want to play.

Useful idea. Unfortunately, too niche
