replacing window and alarm system

We need to replace one window in our home. The entire window unit.

My husband wants to NOT replace the window because the alarm system runs through the window. It is drilled through the frame with a magnetic button when the window closes. This was installed when the house was built, before drywall was put in. He is convinced the window cannot be replaced and the wiring re done.

I have to believe that when people put in new windows they don't abandon their alarm systems. What do installers do in this case? Can this window be replace and the alarm put back in?
