Communication between 2 windows without having a link Parent To Child

All is in the Object.

Is-it possible to modify a window from an another window without having a
link Parent To Child ?

Thank you

I guess you can use the name of the window...

On window to be manipulated:
self.window.name = 'coolWindow';

On window to manipulate:
coolWindow.document.whatever.whatever();

Not tested though

If you're going to make guesses, you should really test them
before posting. Otherwise people might get the impression
that you're more concerned with getting a link to your service
in front of potential customers than with providing good advice,
and that can be self-defeating.

You cannot arbitrarily use the value of a window's name attribute
as a reference to that window.
