After trying to get several more commonly suggested methods of getting data from one Vue page to another and failing, I found (window as any).storagename = datatostore; to be an incredibly easy to use method to store and then retrieve information with retrievedata = (window as any).storagename from anywhere in my project to anywhere.

I am wondering however if there are downsides or potential issues I should be aware of? Since this method is never the first option mentioned, I wonder if there is a reason it is not used as much.
