This is unfortunately an unsolved problem. As you point out - the atom
indices change during a CpHMD simulation and so the selections would
need to be updated at each cycle (probably with a bit of bookkeeping).
One thing that can be exploited is that the number of residues does not
change, so if it is possible to use residue and name based selections,
that should work.
In previous work where we used restraints we took advantage of the fact
that it was only a single residue that was titrating and so all indices
above the atom sidechain are fixed during the simulation (a bit of a hack).
To be honest, it might be easier for someone to implement restraints
based on a selection syntax rather than solve the indexing problem that
is specific to CpHMD.
