The target is usually another Hazelcast cluster; however, you could also use a different target such as a message queue, Kafka, or saving data to persistent storage.

Questions not related to the update, but as I looked and saw it....
- Can we link to any docs on WanReplicationPublisher? If not, what does it add to tell me that this is an implementation of it?
- Can we link to any information on using different targets? Possibly the Configuring WAN Replication page, and/or Advanced Features?

Thanks @rebekah-lawrence, your tweaks read better.
@JamesHazelcast or @vbekiaris may have some suggestions about informative links.

"different targets" like JMS etc are examples of custom WanPublisher implementations a user can implement, it's not something we support out of the box. To be honest, I have never seen a user/customer implement their own WanPublisher.
The WanReplicationPublisher name is probably outdated - the interface is called WanPublisher and it's what users should implement to provide their custom WAN publisher implementation. Probably the audience here would be a java developer, so I think it would be most appropriate to link to WanPublisher javadoc

I'd suggest recasting the previous two sentences (the second is really only a phrase and the last three words that were deleted and re-added don't make sense in it); something like:
For example, you could use the WAN Publisher ID as follows:
+
- In combination with the WAN replication scheme name to pause, stop, or resume WAN replication for a specific publisher
- To trigger synchronization with a specific target cluster
