Ubuntu: XFCE: Is there a workaround for swiching to IntelliJ IDEA with wmctrl after IDEA removed "IntelliJ" from the `window title`?

I have shortcut keys setup that take the focus to a certain application in my Xubuntu setup. So e.g.: START+1 takes me to my main web browser window START+2 takes me to my main Sublime window START+3 used to take me to IntelliJ IDEA using this command set in XFCE settings editor under xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts:
-c 'wmctrl -a "IntelliJ IDEA" || /opt/idea-IC-202.7660.26/bin/idea.sh'
I haven't used IDEA for some time and now after upgrading I see that there is no "IntelliJ IDEA" in the title bar of the application any more - just the name of the project and optionally full path.. So my setup is broken.. Is there a way to fix it? I am not that tough in Linux yet, but I was thinking if searching it in the process tree would help find that project name and path that in turn could be piped to wmctrl or is that even possible? Food for thought. Mike
