Your real question is probably one of these: 1) Does LM do this out of the box? or 2) Can LM be made to do this?
The answer to #1 is difficult for anyone to answer. We have over 2300 DataSources in our portal and I can't keep track of what LM does out of the box vs. what it can't. The easiest thing to do is to get the target into LM and see what is discovered.
The answer to #2 is easier: Yes, LM can do it if you can get at the data in some programmatic way. This is the answer I always give when someone asks, "Can LM do X?". The answer is yes, if you can figure out how to get at the data from the Collector. The rest of configuring the DataSource is minor compared to the work of figuring out how to fetch the data. So: do you know how to fetch the data? Is there a powershell script you could write that would list each user and the number of minutes in the past X minutes that the user has been using the "special application"? If so, write it. If not, is there another way of getting that data? How would you get that data today in a manual way? Is there a log file you would parse through? Would you log in and run a specific command and parse the output?
