PnP-JS-Core open web by url?

Every example I see of PnP-JS-Core uses the current web. How can I open a list from another web?

    For anyone else searching for this. Here's how you do it:

    var w = new $pnp.Web("/news");
w.lists.getByTitle("Alerts")....

    have not seen the code but i guess you need to create your own clientcontext with site url and then go to the correct web.

      That's how you do it with CSOM, but PNP-Core is a wrapper for the REST services. Makes lots of things easier, but documentation is sketchy. Thanks for the response.
