Indeed. In the object widget environment I often code in,
the sub-GUI would have registered "an interest" in knowing
about things that happened in the main-GUI. When something
of importance occurs, a message is sent to all interested
parties. These messages are similar to events, although
passed directly from one widget object to another.

Cheers,
