What to use instead a sessionScope variable over more applications ?

it is not possible to use a sessionScope variable outside the current application.

Unfortunately I am in need to store a central URL of an XPage in one mobile start application so that it is accessible and readable from different applications/XPages by the same acting user. I would like o use something similar to sessionScope but over more than one application before doing it with a cookie or a user specific profile document / field.

Is there some SSJS possibility similar to sessionScope to do it ?

Any idea would be highly appreciated.

There is no built in API to do this.

You could write your own API to do this. See this blogpost by Tim Tripcony for inspiration:

The XSP Starter Kit (available on OpenNTF) has an example of how you might implement a "server scope". Since there's only one JVM for XPages on a Domino server, it's basically just a Java singleton. An example on how to write a singleton for XPages can als be found here.
