wildcards in path

Is there some rule about using wildcards in path? Say I want to create a file, but one of the directories in the path is called 1433d.default and on different machines it will be called <some other string>.default

Code:
touch ~/Library/Application/*.default/myfile
In theory I thought that should work, but it doesn't like the * wildcard. Any help please?
