Today, you'll have the same issue with dbus. You could use the 'dbus interface'
in your snap, but you'd need to have this bug fixed for applications within your
snap to use it:

The fix for this should be in snapd 2.23[1].

I would actually recommend using UNIX domain sockets for this though. The
easiest is to put a named socket in SNAP_DATA.
