Possibly, a solution for this exists in Gnome. With startup

while initially it seems like a good idea, people do need the
ability to launch multiple instances of the same application. Making
this harder would degrade the user experience for the people that
need to do that, and for the people that have no idea that they're
launching more instances of the same application, it probably won't
affect them.

If launching the app once was an OPTION in creating the launcher the
problem wouldn't exist. Terminal launchers for example could have the
option turned off.
