A ToolTip doesn't have a reference to the component that is responsible for making it appear, because not all ToolTips get produced by hovering over a component. For example, you can call ToolTipManager.createToolTip() to create ToolTips that are not associated wtih components.
However, I think the ToolTipManager.currentTarget property is what you're looking for.
