I am not 100% sure if I get what you mean.

But from what I am guessing, I disagree with it. You are suggesting that it has to refer to something that is an approximate description of the noun?

For example,

そこに ペンや鉛筆やノートがあります。

For the above, you can use と too, but when it gets to more than 3, using to will make the sentence look clumsy.
