Can a notice of appeal be interpreted to apply to an appealable order or judgment?

A notice of appeal " 'can be interpreted to apply to an existing appealable order or judgment, if no prejudice would accrue to the respondent.' " (Walker v. Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (2005) 35 Cal.4th 15, 20.) "In determining whether a respondent has been misled by errors on the face of the notice of appeal, a reviewing court may consider the contents of the designation of record . . . ." (D'Avola v. Anderson (1996) 47 Cal.App.4th 358, 362.)
