Is there a way to reference/refresh the dataset property of a table on another opened window via a script?

The system.db.refresh() can do this. Your script would look something like:`w = system.gui.getWindow("otherwindowname")
c = w.rootContainer.getComponent("tablecomponentname")
system.db.refresh(c, "data")`
