How to add app inside application bundle (CrashPlan menu bar.app) to Spotlight index? The CrashPlan Menu Bar item app, is located as a sub item within the package of the main CrashPlan app: /Applications/CrashPlan.app/Contents/Resources/CrashPlan menu bar.app

Applications are indexed by Spotlight, but applications within Application bundles are not on Mac OS X 10.7.5.

How to manually (Terminal) add such an app within an application bundle to the Spotlight index?
I often use Automator to make a stand alone "application" that calls a script or embedded app so that I can place it's icon in the location of my choosing.

There are plenty of other frameworks like Platypus that do similar things.
