Is `system.perspective.sendMessage` incapable of sending messages from a main view on one page to a popup on another page? I want a user modifying a record on one page to refresh a binding on a popup open on another page.

Here's the system I tried implementing:

1. User updates record on first page
2. `system.perspective.sendMessage("refreshBindingInPopup", payload={}, scope="session")` is executed
3. Message handler `refreshBindingInPopup` on the popup's main view with listen scopes 'session', 'page', and 'view' receives the message, executing `self.view.refreshBinding("custom.propertyWithBinding")`
