 When calling [`window.postMessage()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/postMessage) without the `targetOrigin` argument, the message cannot be received by any window.
 
+This rule cannot distinguish between `window.postMessage()` and other calls like [`Worker#postMessage()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Worker/postMessage), [` MessagePort#postMessage()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MessagePort/postMessage), [`Client#postMessage()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Client/postMessage), and [`BroadcastChannel#postMessage()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/BroadcastChannel/postMessage).
