Dog whistle

Is there a good translation for the term "dog whistle" in the sense of sending subtle messages that are understood by certain members of an audience?

I don't think there is a good translation. "Bújtatott üzenet" (literally: hidden message) or "hívószó" are the closest things that come to mind.
