Angel,
I’m not sure if I fully understand what you are trying to do, but browser local
storage is a great way to carry on behind the scene communications between all
types of entities - objects, objects that don’t yet exist, windows, tabs,
frames, and more. You can even close your browser, open it up again, and
continue a conversation. It also sends callback messages between windows, tabs,
and frames.
