Is it possible to access other modules on the same page, refresh or show/hide them?

For example I want to have a module listing some items and by clicking one item I want to show it's details in another module without refreshing the whole page. Is it possible?

I'm using DNN 5, just installed it.

I want to have 2 modules, one displaying a list of products and the other showing the product details, both using partial rendering.

1. A way to select the product from the list and show it on the other module would be to add the id into the url.

2. Another way would be to hardcode some container into the details module and load it's content using jQuery, but I'm trying to avoid this.

I prefer something more dinamically, like searching for the details module on the same page and, if found, send somehow a message to it to reload using the new id, preferable by a request parameter.

Thank you, this is what I was looking for.
