Description
Several SmartDaqApplications need information about other applications in the Session to set up network connections. (e.g. https://github.com/DUNE-DAQ/appmodel/blob/f0eee9340ab38266abaed96d6a85d16d9b22d1e9/src/DFApplication.cpp#L261)
The Session object should be able to provide this information, so that SmartDaqApplications (and DAQModules) can remain ignorant of the state of the rest of the system.

Research direction
Start by reading the referenced appmodel/src/DFApplication.cpp location and the Session object in confmodel. Trace how SmartDaqApplications and DAQModules currently obtain information about other applications. Done means Session exposes the required application information so those consumers no longer need to know the wider system state.
