I also had spent hours trying to solve this issue because I was trying to avoid workarounds. But in Laravel 5 we have a way that can solve the problem. Basically, I solved my problem using Observers: https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/eloquent#observers
Using Observers doesn't matter how many apps you created inside Laravel, all of them will receive the bindings from the listeners that you register in AppServiceProvider.php.
