As much as the coder in me cringes at it, I went with the session variables solution. I really don't like how they are global, though. Is there some way to clear it's data when it is not needed anymore?

There is an alternative to achieve this with no need to Navigating, that would be using a Contained Mashup widget and hiding it(Uncheck Visible property)
Please check the article on this link for detailed steps - https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS187026

if this meets your requirement.

As far as Navigation function is concerned, I don't believe it is possible to exchange data between mashups without Navigating.

Other way to do this would be to use session variables as mentioned in the community post link you shared.

Session variables are written to the database if they're flagged as persistent, however this is not recommended for performance implications, please check this article for more details: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS275262

Also, it is worth checking Article for Best Practices on using Session Variables on this link - https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS232199
