Electron: How can I get the BrowserWindow id from a renderer process?

Is this information somehow encoded in the renderer process?

Have you try this ?
require('electron').remote.getCurrentWindow().id

Since Electron now has more things than 2 years ago, you can just go over the event of your IPC call and request the BrowserWindow that triggered the call:

event.sender.getOwnerBrowserWindow() has that. It returns a BrowserWindow Object with all the properties that it could have such: minimize(), close(), etc....
