Aha! In the header for RegisterEventHotKey(), I had read about that hot key ID
parameter being somehow available in the callback, but for the life of me I
couldn't figure out how, because all its parameters are "opaque". But thanks
to your telling me what to look for, I found that the answer is:
GetEventParameter(). Like this…
EventHotKeyID hotKeyID ;
OSStatus result = GetEventParameter(
carbonEvent,
kEventParamDirectObject,
typeEventHotKeyID,
NULL,
sizeof(EventHotKeyID),
NULL,
&hotKeyID) ;
UInt32 keyID = hotKeyID.id ;
So now I set the hotKeyID.id to a unique value when registering each hot key,
and pass an object which can decode the keyID and perform the desired function
in the userData. Key code and modifier flags are not necessary.

P.S. typeEventHotKeyID should be eventTypeHotKeyID
