It is possible but not ideal. A better way is to keep a DBUS connection open and use Inhibit method. The application (eg. video player) gets a cookie to use with a later call to UnInhibit. This cookie allows inhibit requests to be reference counted and provides a modicum of security. When the DBUS connection is dropped all inhibitors on that connection are removed.
