ConnectOption ODBC parameters for restricting applications

Is it possible to use the ConnectOption in the Custom tab (using a business objects ODBC new connection) specifying the syntax:
APP_ID = Business Objects; (application ID)

I ask this because a customer is wanting to make use of the odbc functionality for his connection using ODBC of Marant SQL Link, but has noticed the generic security problem which an ODBC connection usually has (not only BusinessObjects, but also other applications like Excel and Access may access this ODBC connection, as soon as a user knows a username and password to the database).

Any ideas where this ODBC restriction to be accessed only by one application can be set?
